Well, I have two locations Claumet Michigan and Marqueet Michigan. I can find out who all of my relatives are, my age etc. With money I could have found out even more, but most of the features on the site require money and registration. If someone really wanted to, they could veiw my court records, as well as othe rinformation I consider private. I have also googled myslef in the past. It is intriguing to find out how many people in the world have your same name, but it is also very scarty to realize how weasy it is to find information on people that they may not even realize is out there.

I found my expected graduation year from Michigan Tech and my major, also high school academic info and organizations. That is if you don’t put a space in my last name. Oh yeah, also comments I may have made in different locations such as facebook marketplace. All the info is correct except my current place of living is not Duluth, Minnesota. Mostly what is shown is what was on any public website or newspaper, otherwise you need to pay.

I entered my name into the Public People Record websites that were shown on snoops.com. After going on four of them, I couldn't find myself on any of them. I found that this was strange considering I am registered to vote and I can find my parents on the site.

I found it interesting that I couldn't find myself on any of the sites that I looked at. However when I searched google I could find out a lot of information about myself and even found a picture of me playing volleyball back when I was in High School....it was a little weird to think that these things can be on the internet without even knowing about them.

I was able to find all of my high school academic information and my address. Also I was able to find all my parents information as well by searching my name. If I paid I could have found out alot more information such as any previous addresses I have had and court records and traffic violations. It was weird to think that anyone can find out this information by just paying a little bit of money.

I wasn't able to find any records of myself after looking for a little while. I have found information about myself on other search engines about places that I've played sports and things that I have done along thise lines like stats and such. I did however think that it was crazy that people can have their public records on file for the whole world to see if they wanted to. It made me wonder how much employeers look into their prospectus employees before hiring.

If snoops.com is a link site then when I used one of the links to a site to do persons search some info was correct. One of the listings for my full name showed all my immediate relatives but one of the locations I never lived at before and they are about 3 years slow on my current location.

I did find information on myself and it was correct. I did find it a little creepy that I found a random family tree thing and it knew everyone in my family, including my parents and siblings. It kind of freaked me out not knowing who may be looking at this stuff.

Well, I searched for my name on the website, and found 13 people with the same name; however, I did not find myself...which is probably a good thing!?!? My maiden name is Brown, which I also searched. There are over 100 people with the same name (100 is the max), and in the first set of 100, I did not find my information.

I'm not thrilled by people having the option of spying on other people. I think there should be some type of mandate on it (unless they are a convicted sex criminal, child molester, or murderer).

This is an interested site to find information about me It showed where I lived, and who my brothers are but the site is just a site with other links on it, which you can find on any search engine site.

When I searched my name I could not find myself. There was another guy with the same name that I know and his information looked to be right. It is weird how they are able to connect you with close relatives. It does not seem that it is legal to post people's location and relatives for anyone in the world to see.

After typing my name into the search box, a few links showed up. The links were as follows: www.Intelius.com, www.usa-people-search.com, intelius.com, and usa-people-search.com. It was different to see each of the sites listed twice. I did further my investigations on myself, but some of the information on the site is incorrect. I did find someone with my name and town but no other information. I do find it rather awkward that you can pay $0.95 to find out all my information. It is very disturbing that there is so little privacy.

I typed my name into the search bar and a few links popped up. I decided to click on the “Public Records” link and the corresponding search bar to the second link produced fairly common, yet accurate information such as where I live and who my relatives are. However, upon further inspection, I found out that in order to obtain additional, more specific information about myself, it would cost me up to $39.95.
