Finding someone that you love dearly

How to find a loved one or even a close friend that you maybe have never met or someone that maybe you have not seen in maybe 5, 10, or even 20 years. This article is well worth the search if you are missing someone and want to see them whether you never met them or haven't seen them in years.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Pen, pencil
  • Paper
  • Personal information of whom you are trying to find
  • Patients
  • Telephone
  • Credit or debit card
  1. Step 1

    When first getting started make sure you have all the information that you will need before hand and before getting on the computer. Once you have that you will go to a sight called people finder. There will be a lot of different ones but you will only want to pick the ones that are for free.

  2. Step 2

    Once you find the one that you need you will then go to that sight and type in the information they ask for and it will be something like first name, middle initial, last name, city, state, and birthday (etc).The more information the better it will be to find who you are looking for. Just a note of reminder I payed $1.95 for my search and it gave me all the information that I needed but if it's not given you that information that you need then that's when you start paying more money so try to be careful with that and also just keep trying all the free sites until you find the right one for you.

  3. Step 3

    Once that step is completed if it was successful for you then the information that you need will pop up (when I did it I got phone numbers, addresses of old and recent places where he lived, and names of closest relatives) You will then start writing down all the information that will benefit you and start putting all that information that you have to use. Me personally I started calling the phone numbers that where given to me and those numbers that I called was the lead that I needed and yes it help me to find my big brother that I have never met before. So yes this site really works and Ican truthfully say that its not a fake it's (real) it's works!!!!

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure to use as much information that you have
  • Do not get frustrated because it does take time
  • Don't give up because it really works
  • If its someone close to you when you finally do find them make sure this is something that they want to you don't want to be pushy because you never know how they feel about the whole situation
  • Don't get disappointed if they don't want to speak with you because everything takes time
  • Try to make the situation easy for both sides (you and them)
