Find A Person

So you want to find a person?

You have come to the right place! Whether the person is an old friend or someone who owes you money, there are ways to find him or her.

For example, by creating your own free people finder classified ad here on this site you have good chances finding this person!

And also, with a people locator or websites to find people the search should not be that difficult.

You could start you search by creating your own page on this site where you say who you are looking for. Add a picture if you like. That way finding him or her might be easier than you think.

If you are interested, here is an example of someone that found the relative he was looking for, by putting up an ad here on this Find People website.

----------
I have interviewed private investigators to find out what other things you can to do when trying to find a person, be it an old best friend, an old classmate, an old colleague or a distant relative. After that I have written this page for you. Hope you will find it useful.

- In the case of a missing/lost person or child, you need to follow different steps. See the find missing people section in the Navigation Bar to the left.


What you can do:

Brainstorm
Write down everything you know about the person you are trying to find.

- Where did that person live before? In what city? In which apartment or house? Who lives there now? Would the new tenant be able to help you?

- What school did he/she attend? Can you contact the school?

- Do you know other people who also knew him/her?

What will you do and in what order?

Do a Social Network Search
Check if you can find the person on any of the popular social networks (like Facebook). It might be a quite tedious process to check on ALL social networks. But if you would like to do it, here is a list of social networking sites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites

Do a Search on the Main People Search Engines / People Finders

- For searches within the US you can use US Search

- For searches within the UK, use this one:

You can also use an Email Finder program like The Worldwide Email Finder
More Ideas On How To Find A Person

If you are still stuck after having searched on the social networks, made your people finder ad and used a people finder, then maybe you could use a detective online program or other find person software. But not all of them are good, so be selective of which ones you choose to use.

A private detective or private investigator has access to the very best detective online programs, so it might even be best to contact a private investigator directly to do the search for you.

See the private detective section of this website if you want to find private detectives and investigators to help you find a person.

If you only have a persons...

NAME
Find a person by name - If you for example only know the person's name... and there are many with the same name in the world, right?
No problem. Just go here for more information on that kind of situation:
Find People By Name and read the article I have written there on that topic.

OLD EMAIL
If you have his/her old email address, you might be able to find some more information about that person with the help of a people finder such as http://www.meetoldmates.com/oldemailaddress.php

HOME ADDRESS
To find someone by address, you can use this: http://www.whitepages.com/reverse_address

Finally, what if it turns out to be one of those really hard cases? Maybe you have tried everything but you just can't find that person...

Well, in this case a private detective can help.

Here is a word of advice for you from Tom Collins:

"Make sure if you use a professional investigator that they are licensed. Just as you would do in employing any other professional. Conduct your Due Diligence in determining the real capabilities of the person/company and ask for references".
