Have any DU'ers run into FamilyTreeNow.com?

I did a search on my name and this website popped up on 1st page with name from last marriage. I found it all to be incredibly disturbing! They have addresses going back on me into the 80's. They have me come up 1st with another name not used in 15 yrs. I see some complaints. I looked for who they are....

Anyone else here know anything?

Tks, Ms. 7wo7rees

Public records going back almost 40 years. Hey, they're out there. Unless you've been living off the grid, you can't avoid that. It's pretty crappy that there are people and companies who can access it. But that's the reality.

That said, some of the information about me and my family was incomplete, other info was wrong. That's perfectly fine with me. On balance, looks like a waste of time and server space.
