I don't tend to use google search, but I tried it. My name is quite common, and superficially, it only came up with my twitter page, although I'm sure that if I were doing a more careful search, I'd find my voter registration etc. There used to be a list of ringers' email addresses, and I think I might have come up that way, but it was removed when the UK tightened its online privacy requirements. I object to facebook in many ways, but I was part of it for a year around 2011 or so to participate in study group action. I dropped the account (although surely they have me on file somewhere, like the FBI), and have tried to stay unmentioned since. I have a gmail address for the same kind of reason, and use the google stuff that is nearly required for being a Boston ringer, but hate it. I have a fake name (my only one) for youtube. I presume they have linked me to my real self somewhere in their guts, but it didn't show up in the search. I have an ancestry.com account, but the google search for my name only turned on LD trees in Texas, for some reason. Not me.
In my birth family, people looked at teeth before any other facial feature, due to the prejudices of my grandfather and great-uncle, who were dentists. (I never asked why they left the farm to become dentists, as opposed to any other non-farming occupation). I haven't particularly noted your teeth, so I can't imagine what people were complaining about.
