If you haven't already figured it out, Naked in Cyberspace is NOT a porn site (believe it or not). It is a continuation of the book "Naked in Cyberspace: How to Find Personal Information Online," by Carole A. Lane.
If you're interested in searching for personal information (locating someone, looking up your family tree, etc.), or if you're interested in finding out what others can learn about you online, you've come to the right place.
Are all of the sources free? Absolutely not. I like the free ones best, but the sad fact is that there are many companies that expect to make a few bucks after going through all of the trouble of compiling and putting your personal data online. They charge money because they can - personal information is incredibly useful for many valid purposes (real estate ownership, safeguarding us against our elected officials, screening prospective employees, and so on).
Don't hate the messenger. I'm only here to tell you where the information is and how it can be used. It's up to you to speak to the Federal Trade Commission or your elected officials if you want to change this.
