I don't think you did anything wrong by googling, but your husband should NOT have shared who he saw there or any details, especially about last names on an email list that went around. Pretty much every support group I have gone to or heard of has confidentialy rules, like fallsfall said. The 12-step way of putting it is: Who you see here, what you hear here, let it stay here when you leave here.
So, due to your husband's mistake (or the leader's mistake for not explaining confidentiality) you are in this pickle. But I wouldn't blame yourself for the googling, I don't think that's really the issue that caused this. It's the breach of the group's confidentiality that casuesd this and it was not your responsbility, as an outsider, to understand how that all works.
