Genealogy / Want to find a person [762]

Just remember all the info you leave on the Internet may come back one day to bite you in the a$$. You may think its cool now but what if you have someone stalking you and you lead them right to your door. Or you apply for a job and have left a long trail of things you now wish were never posted. Food for thought. It's on here forever.

In my family there are two girls and two boys. My sister keeps being asked if she is Spanish and my younger brother is a towhead with blue eyes. The rest are brown hair and brown or hazel eyes. My mom has dark hair and dark eyes and my dad (bald very early age) so we can't tell about him...LOL... but blue eyes. Mix it all up and you get what you get.

Well blow me down. Thanks or the phonebook link it actually is valid. Found my aunt's and cousins names in it.
