Laura

Finding a person by goggling them is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.  I tried to google myself and got a whole lot of nothing.  Apparently there is more than one Laura Anne Wampler.  I spell my middle name AnnE.  When I googled my name the data base gave me two Laura Ann (notice that there is no e on the end of Anne) Wampler’s.  I also got a lot of other Wampler’s and Wampler genealogy.    

I tried to search for someone that I knew a couple years ago, but I had no luck searching for him either.  His name was Patrick Scott.  I can’t remember when his birthday is or where he lives anymore.  I met him while I lived in Virginia in 2005.  He went to Norfolk State, but he was originally from Jacksonville, Florida.  I googled him and got the same junk that I got when I googled myself. 

I have come to the conclusion that in order to find someone on the internet you have to pay a fee.  There are search engines that can locate people, but I did not want to pay money to locate myself or Patrick.  I wonder if search engines on the internet even work.  I would guess and say that they probably don’t.  The search engine would probably pull up a couple different people with the same name; unless you have the location, phone number or other basic information of the person you are looking for, but then why would you even need to search for that person by using a search engine?  Search engines are not a great, easy way for finding anyone.
