29. Interesting - I go three pairs of "matches"

Oct 2014

For my name - one pair had the same spelling of the first name and the same middle name. NONE of those six listings were me!

I put in my husband's name - since his last is different, I knew the results would be completely different. Only one pair match came up for his name. Neither were him. Plus, there is another person with his first & last names that he grew up with - that guy didn't come up; we've met another man with the same first and last living in this town and he didn't come up either.

It's interesting that known matches didn't come up!
