Not necessarily - you could have moved out of Iowa, or, as you mentioned earlier, live in one of the states surrounding it. Also, if you exercise minimal caution, you won't be listed in something as easily accessible as a Yahoo! search. > > but I did find 4 "J D********" - I won't list the info Yahoo pulled up for > > me, but it's easy to do a search on a name.

Several other options: Your stated age indicates you'd have been in high school around 1992, so there's a strong possibility your parents would show up in a records search. Also, if your parents ever paid for a game with a check or credit card, we've got another search area pegged there - assuming, of course, access to the proper records. > Every path leads to the Templars, the are the root of everything.

Social engineering, as well as some of the methods used by skip tracers, would more than likely dig up more. Time + money + effort will get info on anyone, if you're motivated to do so. > In case you were wondering 'Kneem' is a munge 'mnem'.
