Hey Ebby,
You have come to the right place to begin your search. First of all... look up at the top of this page.
There is a menu... HOME, FORUM, FAQ, SEARCH...
Hit the search link... Type in "Find People" ... and you will have a great deal of info to help you.
Then you can look at the bottom of the HOME page and see a menu of topics to help you begin your search.
You have to start somewhere and that is usually at the beginning. You will get the hang of it in a hurry.
There are also people here to assist you, but you need to start the search.
I have heard that "LawmanConfidential" helps those who help themselves! He can find out what kind of cigarettes your great great grandmother smoked out behind the barn, when nobody thought she smoked!
Good luck!

Thanks Bill,
I have tried those other sites. Eveytime I get alittle information they always ask for more money. Thats if I want to find out more info. I just want to know if there is a way around those sites.
Thanks for your help!

Ebby,
You need to think outside the box a little. You can always get information from the "find people" sites. You don't always get everything right away. You might get a phone number if you're lucky. You might bring up a relative.
You can do a reverse address lookup if you have the last known address. You can do a hundred different searches... and gather little bits of information. You can find and call old neighbors.
If you are persistant enough you wll find what you are looking for. If you don't want to pay for the information, you just have to work a little harder to find it.
You can search property records in the last known county of residence. It might just lead you to the new home they bought last year.
Look everywhere... Find the graduating class from high school... Go to the schools web site... Find the alumni director..
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!
Post back and let us know your results.

Hi Bill
I did find out alittle more information. I went to the www.public-records-now.com site. I found a new address. When I look it up. There was no such address. Thanks for your support.
Still looking!
