Locating Someone for Free
How can I find a person for free? Tips as suggested by the ThriftyFun community. Post your own advice below.

Editor's Note: Please do not post the person's name that you are trying to find here. We do not have any way to contact people through ThriftyFun.

Whitepages.com Or Reunion Sites

You can use http://www.whitepages.com/9900/ and do a free people search without knowing the city/state. If she has married, though, I would go through Reunion.com or Classmates.com as a free member, and you can at least find her married name if she ever signed up on one of those.

Google or Anywho.com

My husband just put me in touch recently with my best friend. We hadn't seen each other in over 40 years. It was great. Keep trying google and also check out: http://www.anywho.com. Do you by any chance know if she had brothers? Their names wouldn't change and hopefully you'll find your long lost friend.

Zabasearch

System For Tracking Down Old Friends

I am putting together our 20th year reunion and I'll tell you, I am having a BLAST finding most of them!! This is my system: http://peoplefinders.com (excellent for finding married women, type in name and city where graduated from and they'll pull up the name and possible relatives. I use the relatives as a last resort, though! This is a paysite, but you are not paying for results, just whatever info that is written out. I then go to: http://daplus.us. This will limit your searches but is totally free and will give you addresses and sometimes phone numbers. No addresses? Then I go to http://zabasearch.com and look for the phone numbers there!

MySpace

I know I have posted this before, but here's another shot! http://www.myspace.com

I have found so many people through myspace! And better yet: people I forgot about have found me, Good people. It is FREE and fun to set up your own website. Just be safe, don't give people your address, phone number, etc. And you go to your "myspace" to get messages, so no one gets your e-mail address. And finding people from your school is easy and better than that classmate site.

Try Contacting Relatives

I used the anywho site yesterday to locate the mother of an old friend. I tried looking him up, but no answer. On a whim, I used the Yahoo search engine and stated a reason why I could not find him, he was killed back in '00. The paper where he died at just sent me all the news articles pertaining to his death. His mother and I did talk and it puts my mind at rest about him.

Much Information Is Old

You just have to carefully go through the information. Much of the information listed in the people search sites are about 10 years old.

Yahoo People Search

I've found many people from 30 years ago! with Yahoo People Search. The thing to do is, don't look at the big areas of big lettering - look at the small lettering and keep searching from there. It will appear as if you haven't found them but they may be right there! Also remember their mothers or fathers name or their sisters or brothers name - check them all on yahoo people search - if you find them, they will often remember you and tell you how to get a hold of the one you wish to contact. :)

Several Sites To Try

Zabasearch, classmates.com, reunion.com, MySpace, and google their name. As a previous poster mentioned, look through old yearbooks for brothers and sisters, cousins, etc. Call them as last resort. I found everyone who is still living from my 1962 graduating class in 2005 and then again in 2007, and I hadn't seen them since 1962.

Sometimes locating the relatives of the person doesn't help.
I have tried to get some info. on my daughter,and no one seems to know anything. I have tried all the sites that was mentioned here, but all of the info. they give are old ones. She has moved from either place, cause after the last one listed, her and I had lived together, for about 6 mo., and it isn't even listed.

I cannot afford any private detectives, or anything like that, so I'm at my wits end.

PS: I have moved out of the state we were living in.
Thanks,Weezy

Try Facebook. I have recently been contacted by people that I have not seen or heard from in 30 years. Nice surprise and it is very easy to join.
