Friday, November 4, 2011  What's in a name?  Doing family
history research you often resort to google searches to find new
information about a family line. An interesting part of google
searches is using the image search page  I think it would be a
good research project for some grad student to see how many mug
shots turn up in the first 100 hits for various surnames and
what that means.  If you search for my own name Green, adding a
location like Florida you wouldn't see any because it gives so
few photos of people in the results.  Search for a more unusual
name like Ezell, the maiden name of my great great grandmother
on my Dad's side and two out of the first 10 are offender
photos.  Try it with some of the names in your family.  1
