Being & Non-Entity

Googled our legal name in a fit of paranoia. Last time we looked we had been killed in a hold-up (victim, not perp) in Wisc. or Mich. in the late '20s, & not much else.

Since then, the legal name's web presence has increased: We were an 18th/19th century diplomat, died in WWII, have things named after us, are on Facebook under our legal name, rec'd. an award of valor, yet, for police action (different middle initial, but well-rated at Rate-a-Cop) & there appears to be yet another oinker w/ our name. And we found our headstone, were we a junior. (Doubly creepy: Surely a relative, but we didn't know about him or senior.) We don't need to be reminded of our mortality.

And needn't worry about that mortality resulting from discovery. The actual & legal us does not exist in web world.

Is there an "ocelot you" lurking in some obscure, far-off corner of the web?
