Had an experience recently of looking for a person online and I did get some results from my search for them. But nobody answered the phone. I left a message. No response.

Most off-putting

Finding someone online is not as easy as you would be lead to believe. There are people with private numbers and many sites tease you with some data but you have to pay to get all of it. So how can you circumvent that if you are not willing to pay for the info.

If the person has a business, it is easy to get their business address. But if they are taking a room in a house and there is no phoneline to their room, the problem is that much bigger.

Assemble all the clues you have. Do you know which state they are in? How about which county? or city? These help you narrow down the field when you use Whitepages.com as on this site you can put in the name, state, city and push search and perhaps the name will come up on the list. If not, then you next step would be to do a Google search with the name first then state, then city. If that yeilds nothing you might as well pay up!

Finding people online

How do you find people on-line?

this is one way

You can google them if you like, but you then have to sort through many entries on the page. And you might not find the right one. I googled the name of an acquaintance and found data on a person with the same way in France.

So I recommend checking out the link above!

There is a book on locating people which, when I find out what the title and author, I will provide a link to the book as it seems very good.

Plus, there is a way to have helping people find others as a business.....
