If the person you are searching for has or had a title, then search for them using the title (such as Pastor Smith or Dr. Smith). When searching for people, it often really helps if you know what career the person was pursuing. Professional directories are a great source for finding contact information, especially in the sales and services area. All professional organizations tend to have websites and/or records you can check. You are keeping notes, right?

Finding someone’s parents is often a good way to locate someone. Older people tend to maintain the same residence for a long time. If you can remember anything about the parents of someone you are searching for, it can really help. Try a Google search for the parents. Once you find someone’s parents you have an excellent chance of getting the contact information for whomever you are trying to find.

As previously mentioned, searching the largest social networks will often help you locate people you are searching for. There is Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, of course, but there are other, less obvious social networks you can search. There are several websites for helping you find ex-military people; if the person you seek went to college (especially if they graduated), then there are college alumni and college record offices. There are also numerous websites for finding college and high school friends, however, most require a fee to access their services.

If you are serious about searching for people, then doing some additional searches on other search engines would be in order. Check out Bing, Ask.com, Yahoo and so forth.
