The term "dogpile" probably originated as a US football term for a "gang tackle" (three or more tacklers on a runner). It was adopted as a term for a celebration at the end of sporting events (usually baseball) when the players would "pile up" on the field after a victory. The slang internet usage is similar to "piling on" where a group of indivuiduals will participate in joint responses, especially disparaging, to a single initial post or comment.

In sports, especially baseball, a "dogpile" is a celebratory ritual on the playing field. Players will pile up on top of one another, creating a high mound of bodies. This usually occurs when the final game is won in a tournament or competition. Dogpiles occur famously when a game ends as the final victory in the World Series or College World Series.

Reverse telephone look-up is a service that provides subscriber information such as name and address when you provide a telephone number. Many of these exist now on the internet, but reverse look-ups have existed for decades. Bresser's Cross Reference, Polks, and Johnsons were three of the early reverse look-up book publishers. Still in business, they now provide the same service electronically.

The only look-up service that I am aware is free is White and Yellow Pages. All other services will provide some basic information for free such as city of origin or whether the telephone is a landline or cellular. Many will charge a one time fee, but also offer month by month subscriptions.

The collections and repossession industries have used this service for decades, and have access to far more information that is typically available to the average person. One look-up provider used in these industries is Accurint, which offers not only names and addresses, but employers' names and addresses, employer telephone numbers, job titles, vehicle registrations and identification numbers, and family members. All of this can be provided with nothing more than a telephone number.

Please go on "Google"

There are two essential paid for Web Sites that are indispensable for British Isles researchers, they are Ancestry.com which gives all of the Census records from 1837 to 1901. and Genesreunited.com which will allow you to view other researchers family Trees. A good free one is FreeBMD

As already mentioned www.familysearch.com has the largest collection of world records in the world. They are stored inside Granite Mountain in Utah. The records contain billions of names for free research. The Mormon church has been doing Family History since the 1800's.
