Huw do I find a specific person ?

Question

His name is Vernon Richard Everly

Answer 1

The more information you have on the person before you begin searching, the greater the chances are you will find the person.  Make a list of everything you know, other than their name.  List all known addresses for them, even if they are old.  Do you know their birthday?  Their approximate age?  What high school or college they attended?  Their hometown?  Other useful facts are hobbies, name of business, employer, friends, email address, online nickname, old telephone numbers, and Social Security number (which is not a guarantee that you'll find a person).

You'd be surprised at how difficult it can be to find people.  Sometimes it's easy; sometimes it's not. So I have listed a lot of resources.

I have listed many free links to public records from property taxes, court house records, military, marriage, divorce, obituary, prison, and many other free records. What I suggest is to use services that aren't free to pull as much information as you can, and then combine them with free public records sites and googling, which can be a wealth of information when looking for someone.

Not all links will be applicable to you.  Pick and choose the ones you feel will help you in your search.

On many "paid" sites, you can get a lot of information without paying anything! You'd be surprised just how much you can find out without agreeing to pay them one dime! Try it!

A couple of sites that are not free, but that can help you piece together information, are

Intellius People Search

http://www.intelius.com/people-search.ht...

and this one, Melissa Data People Finder, gives a lot of information before having to pay.

http://www.melissadata.com/cgi-bin/peopl...

You can take sites like those, along with WhitePages.com and www.zabasearch.com (which allows you to leave free messages for people you are searching for) and google for any information you might have, such as an email address.

So, first start with the "free" side of paid sites (don't pay them a dime; just glean from their free portion of services!) to glean what information you can, then go after the free public sites with gusto, and combine the "free" paid and "completely free" sites together to find the information you need. Sometimes you'll have to switch back and forth between the two in order to piece together your information, but the extra bit of time is worth it!

Try free public records searches, such as county clerk records and property tax records. Narrow it down first by state, then by county or city.
