If you need to find a person, it’s not always easy to know where to start. Perhaps you’re trying to track down an old friend, find a lost relative or sibling, or search for a biological parent. Or maybe you need to find a person by name for probate or other legal procedure like settling a debt or tracing a tenant who's disappeared.
Even today, with the availability of the internet and social media, it can be a time-consuming, frustrating and expensive process trying to track someone down.
If you’re trying to find a person by yourself, you’ll also face a general lack of information, dead-ends, restricted records of dates of birth and phone numbers and no access to professional people tracing tools like those we use.
