Does anyone know how to find someone? No matter where they...

[sistersofmercy]

might be. I'm looking for somone, it's been a while but I need to find this person.

1. Try this site..

www.ussearch.com. Hope that works! It's a paid site, but they claim they can find anyone.

2. If you don't want to pay

you can try Yahoo people search. It won't be anywhere near as effective, but I have had some luck with it.

3. think about it real hard...you are only three phone calls away....

you must know this person...that's why you can find this person...just think about it...and call a person who will lead you to the next phone call...it works....

6. I only know of one person who might but I'd have to track them. But..

great suggestion, I'll try that avenue! Thank you for the inspiration!

8. I wish you were right...

I'm looking for someone, too, and he's managed to elude me for more than a year now. I don't know where he lives (and even when did, he didn't have a phone), I haven't been able to track down an e-mail address for him (and I know he has one), and there are several other 'Hounds of Hell' on his tail looking for him too. We still haven't caught him. (Also, it doesn't help that he has an extremely anonymous name!)

7. Try meta-search engines

Type in the person's name, use quotation marks. Example: For Micheal Johnson" try that full name and "Mike Johnson." I recently found a friend with a common name. I typed her name in quotes then put the word "photography" in the search. Still too many links were found. Then I added "Italy" because she loved Italy. I found a magazine that she had just been hired at.

The free searches are useless, they just set you up to refer you to a pay site.

10. forgive me for my ignorance but i'm not sure what you're writing..

about. Is that actual site or is that just term for the type of search? Please more info, I think I know 2 countries this person is in, in fact I'm almost positive after research i know which country this person is in just need to figure out means of contact.

15. Here is a link that explains metasearch engines

and has links once you get there that go to a few of them. Dogpile found a few things for me.

9. Try bighugs.com.

It's a site for adoptees looking for relatives but you can find others that way too.

11. As long as the reasons for your search

don't involve serious negativity, like money, anger, revenge...etc., - the Salvation Army will help people find friends and family no matter where they may be in the world.

13. no it's none of those just need the answer to something that has

plagued me for years. Quite stupidly sad really!

12. For backpacking acquaintances

Here are a couple sites I stumbled upon. I didn't find anyone familiar. But perhaps you'll get lucky.

www.lostamigos.net

www.backpackersreunion.com

I found a couple long lost cousins via Google. And there were plenty of kith and kin I couldn't find.

14. Thanks wouldn't work but you just gave me a great idea!

16. Okay, I had an English penpal from 1969-1973...

I know her name, her brother's name, her grandparents name from 1972. Anyone have any suggestions?
