What the fuck, they do cell phones now
Mine's not there. Some woman with almost the same name as me, yeah. Maybe you have to go off the grid for 14 years and the government just forgets you.
Don't see why that would have mattered, though, as long as I have no death certificate and yes registered address/phone number.
A bunch of my tribe was missing, we don’t have a super popular surname but there’s a lot of us, regardless.
It looked like it was mostly the older older folks who still have landlines? Because we haven’t had one for so long I can’t even remember
Which is why I've never used social media that requires a phone number.
Unfortunately they have our info from friends and family that share contact permission without though.
Except here's no bleed through from the user names I actually use online to my family members or irl acquaintances. Separate emails, separate identities.
Well that's extremely disturbing.
Holy sweet Jesus they seem to have so much info. I'm generating my report now, so I'll update this when I look through it
Update: you have to pay $25 to get your report so I no longer care
You can get way more info from a free ancestry.com account than should be allowed. Year book photos etc.
