Finding Myself Online

So, based on a tip about spokeo.com that shows public information about you, I searched for myself. Now there is a lot of concern about this site because it lists all public information about you. I'm not as concerned about it because everything on the site is able to be found by anyone doing a public records search. I have a very unique name and as far as I know, I'm the only Thomas Deliduka in the world.

What I find interesting is there is another Thomas Deliduka listed on that site! One in Libertyville, IL. I looked a that record, the first concern was that I had my identity stolen! Then I looked closer. The address is for the Marian shrine Marytown! Huh?! I used to do web design but that was a long time ago and I don't remember doing any work for Marytown.

That made me think some more. I went over to switchboard.com and searched through the entire US for "Thomas Deliduka" and found myself in Irving, TX! What?! I searched on that address and found it was the address for the Catholic Marketing Network. Now, I did do some work for them over 10 years ago but that was a long time ago.

How did my name get associated with all these places? That's so weird!
