With today's technology, the search is easy. The challenge will be figuring out what to do once you've found him.

Difficulty: Moderately challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Call his old phone number or send a letter to his last known address - it may get forwarded to his new home.

  2. Step 2

    Search through phone books, school and employment directories.

  3. Step 3

    Ask his friends, family members, neighbors and prior landlord. Tell them you are trying to contact him, and provide them with a number where he can reach you.

  4. Step 4

    Put an ad in his favorite weekly paper or post a note at one of his old stomping grounds.

  5. Step 5

    Try the Internet. There are myriad search services available online.

  6. Step 6

    Hire a private investigator - ask friends and attorneys for referrals.

Tips & Warnings
  • Out-of-town phone books are available at your local library.
  • Make it easy for people to help you - they may feel more comfortable notifying him themselves.
  • Leave no stone unturned - follow your hunches.
  • Check an international search page if you know he's outside the United States.
  • Try US Search at (800) USSearch.

on 2/27/2009 I really like this article, and I think a lot of the time you want to find an ex because you were really good friends before dating-who lost touch after the breakup. Or your doing awesome look great and want to rub his/her nose in it lol. Either way love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Mwah 5 stars!!!!

on 2/20/2009 if your ex happens to be an immigrant, even a legal one, sometimes their personal info is harder to find than that of american citizens...another way to search is in social netwroks like Myspace and/or Facebook.
