There are a lot of websites for people search to find a person
. Most people can be tracked down with these websites. Without even having much information on the person you can usually find them. It is of course easier with more information.
Just recently I found a family member that we have been looking for, for the last fifteen years by simply using a people search website. I only had the name of the family member and the last known city where she lived. I was able to find her without even having her last address.
A lot of these sites can be used for free. However you can not always get the information you want for free. You usually are required to pay a small amount of money to get all the information you need.
I guess it will depend on if you really want to find someone or not as to whether you pay the money or not. You can sometimes get a phone number for free but they only give you the number of everyone in the area with the same name so you have to search through them all yourself if you do not pay for it.
You can save your money and just call everyone on the list the website gives you but you defiantly want be saving any time. These sites are really good for finding old friends or long lost family. Sometimes people that are trying to make a family tree use these sites.
You will be glad you used the site when you finally find that person you have been looking for. You will be amazed at how quickly you can find someone that you have looked for, for many years when you use these sites. Sometimes it can only take a few minutes to find someone.
