Free Person FinderHow to Look for Someone - Step by StepCollect InformationBegin by gathering as much information as you can. Start with the basics:
Contact Friends and Family To Help Gather InformationCall friends, relatives, and old employers of missing person. Next, contact any social clubs, organizations, schools, religious groups and churches where he/she may have been a member. You may find someone who has continued to keep in touch with your missing person, or you may find someone with some additional information which may give you a lead. Try telephoning friends, relatives, old employers, schools, and churches instead of sending a letter. Letters may get put aside and forgotten, or the person contacted may be hesitant to put anything in writing. Check the following for a Social Security Number and/or date of birth - old bank statements, loan/mortgage applications, financial records. Find old yearbooks in the local library to find old address, year of graduation (age), and possible interests. As you search, be sure to record dates and the source of information - whether the person with whom you spoke or a written source. Record every bit of information given as you never know what will turn out to be important to your search. Use this paper as a reference. In addition, always have a place to record any additional information with you so nothing gets lost or left to memory. If you only know someone's name, you can try to find his/her street address by using online White Pages:Enter Name, City (if known), and State (if known). If you can narrow down to a few states, try one at a time. Try searching first name, then nickname. If applicable, try searching both married name and maiden name. Each of the following has a different database, so be sure to try each. To find listings for a US residence, type any of the following combinations into the Google search box:
