This is the great thing about city directories. They also list names and telephone numbers for people (when possible) by the address. Another helpful thing with city directories in a people search is that often, a library will keep several years of a city directory, sometimes they can go back quite far. Of course this is not free online people search, but it is close to it
Sometimes the chances are much better to find people in an older city directory if the person has moved. Telephone directories cannot keep up with people who move, in addition to the problem of unlisted numbers. More on using the city directory in your people search later.
Okay, if you are still reading this then that means that you did not get anywhere with the telephone directory and the city directory method in your people search. Or maybe it was that method does not apply to your search.
Here is my next tip for free online people search:
You can use the Internet. You can do a free people search with the main search engines like Yahoo.com and Google.com. Just type in the state, the city, and then the full name: You never know until you try.
Here is an example:
Florida, Miami, john a smith
If the person has a very common name, you will most likely get quite a number of results. You will need to try to narrow it down as best as you can and then write the information down and contact each person to see if there is a match.
The last direct tip for free online people search:
If the person has a presence on the Internet and is somewhere out there somewhere in cyberspace, then you could take your people search to anther direction. Using the major search engines, you can look for websites, blogs, postings, e-mail addresses, and other Internet trails. Who knows? Maybe the person you are looking for has a personal website or a blog online. Try these examples:
e-mail address, john a smith
website, john a smith
blog , john a smith
forum, john a smith
message board, john a smith
If you have personal information about the person, such as the school he or she graduated from or the field of employment, there types of people searches sometimes can lead you right to the person. For example, if the person is an artist, he or she probably has a website about art in cyberspace. Be creative and try these free online people search methods.
For example:
art, john a smith
artist, john a smith
painter, john a smith
Keep playing around with the various search engines and try every kind of search that you can think of to move your people search along. Do not for get about www.msn.com, www.ask.com, www.altavista.com, and www.dogpile.com, among other search engines.
Remember, the key to search engines is to keep the phrases short and give it some kind of order, such as a filing system. All a search engine does is to look for specific matches or close matches to what you typed into the search field. And don’t forget that there are international versions of some of the search engines, such as a Chinese language version of Google, and a German language version of Yahoo!, among other languages. If your person has moved to Germany, maybe you want to search for him or her using the German version of Yahoo!. [You have reached the end of page two of this section.
