Have you ever been frustrated by not knowing a friend's email? Or had your computer crash and lose your contacts? Try these simple tips to save you from a heart attack!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet connection
  • Time
  1. Step 1

    I just found one website that saves the researcher a lot of time. It is The Ultimate Email Directory. http://www.theultimates.com/email--This website has 6 directories on one page.

  2. Step 2

    The directories are yahoo,whowhere, IAF,Infospace,Bigfoot, and Switchboard. Type in the name you are searching for in each of these directories and see if there are any positive results.

  3. Step 3

    Don't forget to do a search in all the major search engines for your person. Many times I have found an email thru colleges, school districts or the person's work.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep trying
  • Remember you can always call the person or use snail mail
  • Don't forget business cards now have emails.
