Searching for my last name, it found 243 people in the entire country. At least 15-20 of them are my relatives....

stalker.

Hardly, I'm much more interested in one of the women I work with.

Anand's not my type.

If it's public records, where in your city do you go to see these public records?
For public records? Several sources. Oregon DMV sells names and addresses for income, if you didn't know that already. Most DMV's do. Court records are also available to the public.
Real estate records? The one and only Metroscan. They gather and sell the information from all the major public land records in the US, getting most of their information from title companies.
If an individual wanted to look it up personally, just head on down to the county courthouse.

Interestingly enough, my roommate is not listed.

His last name is quite uncommon, & he is absolutely paranoid about giving out his personal info.

Did a search on his last name, pulled up several people in Oregon. One of them was his brother, but my roommate is not to be found.

Guess his paranoia paid off.

Hey, it's legal to bang her, so what's the problem? Besides the fact that you're stalking her, off course, but hey, I'm sure she'll understand. :p

This uses information gathered from profiles on Yahoo Mail accounts. No yahoo mail account, and your not in this database.

Interesting. When I originally opened my Yahoo mail account, I lied about my name and age. Later though, I bought from a Yahoo store (svcompucycle) and had to provide my correct info. Hmm.... :|

edit: I think it's more likely that they get their info from a variety of sources.

Maybe yours, not mine. My Yahoo Mail account has a totally false name and address and when I enter that info nothing comes up.

There was a site like this posted before where you could enter a person's full name and it would show matches and their birthdates. I tried to find that site a few months ago, but couldn't locate it.
