Has anyone tried Googling their own name? ?

Question

It is fascinating...

I also could, if I so desired, follow up some of the other entries of people who share my surname Shilvock...

Why don't you try it?

Answer 1

I did and went through 7 pages of copies of magazine articles from a somewhat famous journalist with the exact same name.  I stopped at page 7 because it was boring to see the same guy pop up, page after page.

Answer 2

Oh, yes...and I hope no one else did!  However it was kind of fun reading about former spouses!

Answer 3

Yes I did it

Very Fantastic Results of my name....
