Finding People

People contact me constantly trying to find friends, performers, celebrities, etc. I usually start at

http://www.theultimates.com/

I don't think that those guys link to:

Database America
AOL's Netfind

Looking for Zip Codes, Area Codes and phone numbers? Start at

I found several other lists of people finder links similar to this message:

http://www.yahoo.com/Reference/White_Pages/Individuals/
http://members.aa.net/~flip/search/search.html
http://www.benoit.com/jean/find.html

Looking for a classmate from High School or College?

Alumni Net

There`s a bilingual resource for finding Canadians at:

http://canada411.sympatico.ca/

and even an international directory at:

http://194.183.224.12/infobel/infobelworld.html

It doesn't hurt to try generalized www search engines. A couple of my favorites include: If you strike out with those resources, you might check out some pay services: I have never used any of the following resources and can`t speak for them:

http://www.1800ussearch.com/infospace.html or phone them at 1 (800) U.S.SEARCH
http://www.locateme.com/
http://kadima.com/
http://www.classmates.com

Search Problems? Finding women can be more problematic than finding men, as so many of them change their names after marriage. Very common names like Smith, Brown, Root, etc may also yield an unwieldy number of hits. Don`t forget that you can search for parents, siblings, classmates, coworkers, or other folks who can help connect you to the friends you are looking for. Good luck!
