OK, I'm sure Forums (or is it Fori) have done this before, but I think It would be fun if Forum members Google themselves and post the first hit. No cheating now, just your full name, no other information. Please say if the first hit is actually yourself or some loser that happens to have the same name.

I'll do it later as I have an odd surname and will get myself I'm sure.

I get a side of a girl, who ist physiologist for horses. If you know me only a little, you might think, that could be me, because I´m also very into animals... but no horses... I dont even know how to ride a horse ;-)
The most of the next hits seem to be related to her, too.
The first hit for the real me is the 8. one and it leeds to an article from an wild animal shelter-thing, when I had to pick up a big vulture, someone found in Germany (we normaly dont have vultures here...only some (again) in the very south of germany)... there were a lot of articles in the newspaper back then...

edit: whats the url for an english google-site?

My full name results in nada.
My First name, middle initials, last name results in an image of mine (photographer by trade).

Look, I'm going along with this because I'm essentially good-natured: fora is the plural of forum - not my name.  [::)]

My namesake is the son of a famous popular novelist (deceased) and one himself - we are related.

Blakey: So if you are related then you have famous relatives. Did doing the search reveal the new relatives or did you know them already.

My husband discovered an American actress who his been in some high budget films as peripheral characters. As there are so few people with our surname she has to be related.

I did Google my board name Rosalind DNA and my real one.

I got loads of sites for both. When I saw my real name it quite frankly spooked me.

Rosalind Franklin was my first cousin and one my life's main regrets is that I never met this brilliant and beautiful lady.
She discovered the Single DNA Helix in 1953, then it was taken by Wilkins without her knowledge or agreeement.

NO my surname is the same as Rosalind Franklin's one.
Because her father was a brother of my grandfather.

Oh, I see. So you both share the surname DNA, i suppose that is an unusual surname.
