Jeff, I don't think you should be called a coward, but I just googled Muffy Aldrich and got more than 300,000 hits. And that is not following all the google suggestions... ie, fake, real name etc ect. I think you might want to keep this thread in case there is anyone out there who does not understand that once you have a blog with many many readers, there are going to be privacy issues...

Again, you guys are welcome to set up your own blogs and publish all you want about whomever you want. But, it is not appropriate to use DCUM's anonymous posting privileges to produce exposes about named individuals. I am pretty sure that there is not a poster here who couldn't be exposed for some sort of hypocrisy in his life. If you are convinced otherwise, please provide me your full name and city of residence and will will put "Google Sleuth" on it stat. Muffy may well be a public figure, but her aunt certainly is not. Hence, I've just removed posts about her. My patience with this thread -- which was not in abundance to begin with -- is really near the end. Don't be surprised to find this thread no longer in existence before long.

I had to give away my google secrets, but I will...I have often found out helpful information by googling the person's name plus the word obituary...This is a good way to find out what family connections the person has..Another good google sleuthing technique is to use the person's name plus "alumni" and that usually generates info from high school and college magazines with updates on the person's career, etc, esp from before the internet age.

I am a journalist and an attorney. i have no personal interest in these people except that google sleuthing is sort of a hobby of mine AND I am from new england and read the Preppy handbook in high school..so I know WASPs and Preps, etc. I attended Milton Academy...but I am Irish. I like Muffy's blog and I am interested in Preppies...But it seemed like something was "off" with her blog and I know from personal experience that true WASPS don't really advertise themselves or their old money and so I guessed that they were poseurs. My very first google search was probably "Muffy's Aldrich's true name" and her true name immediately popped up. I purposely did not reveaal her address even though I was easily able to find out from Zillow that she lives in a very ordinary house. All of this sleuthing took me maybe 1 - 3 hours tops. But I do have to say - as an experienced reporter and attorney, I am very very good a google sleuthing. I am also obsessed with Ancestry.com and I am really really good at that too. I am harmless! I do think Clark Wezniak is prob. a sensitive jerk. I am not his stalker. I live on the west coast.


I thought her blog seemed very fake also. New money trying too hard.

The thread contained much more then mere comments. There was an astonishing about of information about this couple. It is probably possible to make a convincing argument that the information had been gathered from public sources and wasn't a violation of privacy. I hear arguments every day that have legitimate points on both sides. You can't just call it a tie, you still have to make a decision. I made a decision and I stand by it. The OP of this thread can kiss my ass.

I think that most people are pretty alarmed to discover how much information is available on the internet. Google your own name + intellius. Up will pop the names of your parents and spouse. These associations have been gleaned from records that I would not have imagined to be public.

If you purchase property in the US, maintaining your anonymity is only possible by setting up a corporation and buying through it, and even then some states may require a public record defining you as the owner of that corporation in some other database. Today's search engines pull all of that together.

This exactly...Google Sleuth here..It was when I found out that they had changed their name from Wezniak to Aldrich that I really started snooping.

Plus, besides reading "Cheerful Money" I also had just read Mark Seals' book on "Clark Rockefeller" another fraud...by the way Aldrich is the middle name of Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. So I was like - hmmmm - who the heck are these people behind this Daily Prep blog. (As I explained on the original thread, I did most of my google sleuthing about a year or two ago and reported my findings on GOMI but the thread was deleted because Clark complained as he has done again with Jeff the admin of this site.)

Anyhow, if you don't care, don't worry about it..but I think it is very interesting. I am a curious person and a news junkie. I found the whole Clark Rockefeller story fascinating too. Maybe I was sort of doing my own investigative reporting...I should also mention that I have been a blog reader for 15 - 20 years - from way back when when blogs were brand new. So my love of blogs, my interest in New England prep culture and my love of investigative reporting and google led me to investigate the Aldriches (nee Wezniaks)...

If she is simply an observer, why not just say so? Idgi.
