How To Find A Long-lost Relative

Oftentimes, when settling the estate of a deceased relative

, it becomes necessary to find all of the possible relatives of that person. In many cases the estate and will cannot be processed and finalized until those relatives mentioned in the will have been located.

Nowadays the Internet makes the process of finding those lost relatives who are named in wills much easier. In many cases it's a simple matter of going to a search engine online and doing a few quick and simple searches for that person's name, phone number, and or last known address for that person.

Always remember when using search engines that putting quotation marks around specific phrases in the search string often will provide more accurate results. For example, if you are searching for the persons name and you insert only their first and last name in the search box, the search engine will provide results for those names why possibly not in that order. If you want results only for names that are in that exact order put quotations around the entire name. This one sure that the search results will only have the name in that exact order.

For example, if you simply type the and John Smith without using quotations around the name, the search results would contain sites and pages that possibly contained the names John Davis and William Smith. Obviously, those are not the search results you are looking for. Searching on an Internet search engine without using location marks yields many results that are completely irrelevant. Usually, in most search engines, you can click on something called "advanced search" and there you will find more functions that will help you more easily customize and refine the search you are trying to do. Simply using the basic search interface on most search engines is not very productive. If you work with one search engine and get to know how the special funtions operate well, you'll have much better success.

Also remember that various search engines will provide different results when you try to find a person. If you don't find what you are looking for on the first three or four pages of search results in one search engine, go try the same searches in a few other major search engines. The results for the same searches can be dramatically different from one search engine to the next. Never give up while only trying one search engine; always try the same searches in multiple search engines for the best possible results.
