You are supposed to be able to set Privacy settings (WAAAYYY at the bottom in tiny print Privacy) but, I tried and it just keeps saying that in order to prevent abuse they have to limit the number of privacy requests. Please try again later.

"Done" just means it's done loading the web page into your computer. (And sometimes the "Done" message loads before the page is actually finished.)
It should break it down by state, with a link for each state. Click on your state, and scroll through the names to find yours.

I'm listed on a few similiar websites at addresses in other states that I haven't lived at in years. One has me married with two children - and I've always been single (with no kids). I'm wondering who the guy is! I mean, there are names and ages for each of them.

wow that is a little scary. they have my old address on the house we lost, they have me with two children instead of three. and they have me down as a machinest instead of a dental assistant. but pretty close to what it use to be. Penny

That is not good for a single woman living alone!
So what if that information was available if someone did the homework for it. That sites makes it as easy as entering a name.

hmm neither DH nor I are listed, and we have been here for 4 years.
However my DH is listed as living at his sister's house in another state, this is the sister that used his SS# to get utilities and a cc in his name before and really screwed up our credit for awhile we paid lots of money for bills we didn't owe.
And her address is NOT the same one she lived at when she used his name before. So she must be up to her old tricks.
No we have NO relationship with her nor do we plan to but I will find out if she is using his name again. She is such a witch.
Thanks for that website.
