Or... You must specify the exact family name. otherwise the name is not found. Are you sure that you write the persons name correctly?
from the error message: Hint: the last name must be spelled exactly and completely, although the case is not significant.

Some, for example, believe that spammers can harvest email addresses from IBM's whois site, and choose to opt-out to help reduce the amount of spam they receive. Others may opt-out to avoid having their phone number made publicly available, thus reducing potential interruptions during the work day. By default all IBMers are listed, as far as I know, and they must explicitly opt-out to become unlisted.
