I directed a friend to find her long lost brother she hadn't seen in 15 years.  I told her to go to ussearch.com or you can call 1-800-US-Search.  They helped her find him.  I recommended them because some of the talk shows like Montel Williams use them.

Go to rootsweb.com and put in the name of the person you are wondering about. If you have the ssn you can put that in as well.

There are a number of ways to go about this.  It is definitely harder if you do not know her name.  I happen to not know my biological grandmother, but I am in the proccess of using personal searches to find her.  There are a number of different websites that offer that particular service.\n\nAnother thing that you can do is talk to the government (if you are willing to take it that way).  They can help in locating people, especially if you can think of a reason such as child support.

If no one else in your family knows her where abouts, I would start by trying to find a friend of hers who may very well know how to reah her. Do you know where she works? And you may also want to check the white pages on the internet.

go to yahoo.com, then to People Search and if this person exists. you'll even get a phone #. anything extra is going to cost but the location and phone # is free. You will need the first and last name of this person. U will mostly get more than 1 person pulled up who has the same name as this person unless the person u r looking for has a weird name like Ishbu Olge'veis. Anyway if u come up w/ more than 1 person w/ the same name call those and w/ any luck, 1 will b the one u r looking for. Good luck sweetie.

You can try a file called Zabasearch, however be forewarned, that you might run into a brick wall.  Your mother may prefer not to be found for any number of reasons and you may search for years.  Your best bet would be to start with where you were born if you can find that out, however with birth and adoption laws, you might strike out there.  \nIf you know her last name and if she married since you were born, it might help.  \nI wish you much luck, as it has to be hard to go through life not knowing who brought you into the world and why they gave you up, but remember they may not want to see you and that is their right.\n\nBest of Luck in your search and I hope it ends happily for you.

As your other answer states, you'll need to have some info on the person.  Bare minimum would be last name and state.  I usually use worldpages.com to find people but it requires they be listed in the white pages.  You need to know last name and state.  If you know first name and/or sity, that'll get you a little closer.  Obviously, myspace is another tool people use to find old friends.

There are a number of search sites available. I suggest you google "search people" and you'll get numerous sites you can try. It helps if the person you're trying to locate has a name that's not all that common. If the person has a common name and you don't even know the sate in which they live, it will be difficult to locate them.

There are on line businesses that will give you any available public info on a person. The often have names like "find anyone now" or "find anything or anyone". The service often cost $29.99 to join. Look for one that offers a "guarantee to find" service. If your friend is under 18, you might need to try to locate an adult family member of his to find him. Good Luck

Why you want to find a person who has been "lost" for 20 years.  They probably know where to get in touch with you if they wanted to.  Why not leave it alone?

zaba search,just put in the name and the state it will give you last addresses .it's easier if your friend did not have a common name sometimes it is easy to find someone who's name was among three other people in your search but sometimes your seacrh can yeild pages of results for you to sort through

Your best bet is to go to the message board on yellowpageskenya.com. I was able to find a friend I hadn't seen in 30 years. This site may also give other ways to find this friend. There is an option to put in the name and retrieve his address and phone number. Good luck.

why don't u try writing her a letter and drop it to the last know address you have of her using her maiden name, even if she doesnt live there anymore, someone who knew her might forward the letter to where she is presently residing right now.. well what i really mean, if it's that important for you to find her..there are so many ways.. don't give up and one day, your search will be rewarded.. goodluck!
