Millie,
Thank you. I went to snopes.com and they said it's true.

Subject: Phone # in Google

Hi, George,
I got this and tested it and it is real.Google has implemented a new
feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar
and hit enter, and you will be given the person's name and address.
If you then hit Map Quest, you will get a map to the person's house.
Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book.

If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to
find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious and alarming.

Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my
number and it came up along with the map and directions straight to our
house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of
you to do the same.

In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to Google at
www.google.com <http://www.google.com/>; File: http://www.google.com/ ,
type your phone number in the search bar (e.g. 555-555-1212) and press
enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private
information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the
Removal Form.
Removal takes 48-hours. Please share this information with friends and
family.

(Also check out the google maps...they may have a picture of your house
online!)
