Where did MyLife.com get so much information?

[anon]

My grandparents have never used the internet (literally ever) and I don't have a Facebook and I don't use my real name on Twitter or YouTube. So how did MyLife.com get all the info on my grandparents. Where they lived and where they live now and my adress and phone number!? How did they do this and how can I take it down? I don't feel secure knowing my life (no pun intended) and my family's is out there to anyone who can do a Google search.

maybe from phone books, city directories, and census records?
