I use those sites quite a bit, in an effort to track potential DNA project participants. My guess is that the information is pulled from credit card data. My favorite by far is peoplefinders.com, because not only does it show you info on the person for whom you searched, but also for people who have lived at the same address. One can usually guess by the ages the family relationship.
