Be Your Own Detective - How to Start to Find a Person

Be Your Own Detective - How to Start to Find a Person


I've done many articles on how to be your own detective.I have written a series, which was essentially an e-course on how to be your own detective.I am sure that after people read all those articles they are like - "OK, how do I really start my own investigation?".Let's say that you need to find someone - so now you are a "people finder." Now you need to know something for a place to start.Their name is nice (real names are better, but sometimes a nickname or user name is enough).If the person is on a lot of social networks - they are easier to find.Remember that the next time the you want to disappear..).OK, I will state some of the obvious.First run the name through Google.I know, I know - Google is like the Anti-Christ and all, but they are quite useful.When you run the name name - try the full name in quotes.Maybe you say, trying to find Jimmy Hoffa.Sorry, I could not resist.As an example, type "Jimmy Hoffa" if you want to do a search.Note. There are probably gazillion hits for Jimmy Hoffa - so if you know the last location it is possible to restrict your choices.Knowing the age, etc.Will also help.Do not forget to try different spellings, because the person who entered the information may not spell so GUD.. P.Suppose that you get too many choices or not anything.I use the following two free places to search before I go further.Whowhere and Peekyou.They are free, and both are better than the normal 411 and white pages sites I've seen.If you can not find them there, try to check out voter registration sites.Enter "public records" and "voter registration" and in any search engine.If you do not know the county - well, good luck.Do not forget to check if they are dead - If you do not know for sure otherwise.You will see that you can chase public records all day or even days.There are literally thousands of public records sites. 50 States - plus US territories and Washington DC, all of the counties and parishes, and of course the cities.County public records are where the real wealth of information lies.Now I'm lazy and if I can not find them quickly with a few searches, in the normal way - I just go to the search box on my blog.It's not free - but it will save hours after hours of looking.I hope this tid bit helps.Whatever you do - Stay Safe!

  1. Connies, the work of detective is very tough, because keeping all information of an Individual is very hard work. If anyone wants to get some basic information about any individual, then he can find it from public records provider organizations.
