How to find a friend

[Kit Sober]

I was trying to find a friend I lost touch with and there are so many pay-for sites that come up saying they have the information I need.

I just need address, but apparently they are not in phone book.

(old person here. I remember when it was all free look ups.)

Any suggestions?

(If I got to pay that's ok, I just wanted another opinion on what to look for in good sites that won't fill my pc with their stuff.)

Thanks.

"Old person here"

Did you post that or did I?

Kit, Zaba search is good. http://www.zabasearch.com/

You can try NetTrace. It has multiple search engines listed in one place. http://www.nettrace.com.au/resource/search/people.html

About.com has an article on how to look for people for free. http://websearch.about.com/od/peoplesearch/

I hope you find what you need!

Kit,

Try your local library also. My sister does alot of web searches for her high school reunion committee. Some of the good sites for finding people that you pay for she can sign on for free at the library. She can enen sign on the library system at home using her card.

It's a birthday present I wanted to get to someone I lost touch with.

Thanks for your help. It's sincerely appreciated.

Note to Waysider: I didn't know a logon from a lumber mill 15 years ago. I certainly would be even more computer dumb than I am without the kind kind of helpfulness found on Waydale (10 years ago) and Greasespot Cafe (been around a while, too). It will be great when we have more time logged onto Greasespot Cafe than we had in twi! But arthritis is creeping in and body parts are wearing out at my end of pc.

And I was able to find the address I needed.

Thanks, again.
