    Last night (just for the heck of it) I entered my name into the Google Search Engine, and was horrified to have dozens of links come up with not only my name, but my son's, also my daughter's and my wife's complete with addresses, phone numbers and entries they made into Facebook.

    Is there any way that I can get rid of all that info on the internet? Any help and suggestion(s) would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi

    Sadly no, you are stuck with this, its a downside of using social media sites such as Facebook, and also adding your info into the likes of electorial registers, phone books etc

    When signing upto online things look for an opt out for published data, its rare but some sites that you may sign up for may have these, generally linked to government sites.

    Thanks for your reply Halo. I expected that there is no remedy for it, but the wife needed a second opinion.
    Regards, Lothar
