Received a notification about this site FamilyTreeNow through Army Criminal Investigations Division this afternoon. Highly recommend you go to the site and use the Opt Out function to remove your name from their registry. When you do a search of yourself you will understand why. With the exception of your SSN and your birthday, every bit of your information is on that site. Former names, names of relatives, names of those who have associated with you, current and former addresses, current and former telephone numbers (to include cell numbers). And anyone can search it.

I don't do stuff like that bro. That site is legit and it has stuff you do not want the public to have.

The top 5 people of my possible acquaintances were friends I've been arrested with. Thanks for the bump of joy.

Exactly. All hyper-linked. When your name is run it leads you to everyone you have associated with. And gives the searcher the same information it just gave about you.

I had one of those

Also had my sister-in-laws' father-in-law on there that I've never met.

Very comprehensive list.

I just opted out my wife and I.

Very bizarre.

Nah. You'll have to pay to opt out of that one.

How do you opt out? What are the steps? I don't see how to do it.

Sorry. I found it.

There's an opt out button at the top once you click on a record.
