1
Facebook
Start your search at facebook.com (Link below, under Resources). Most members of facebook are listed under their real name. Many women are listed under their married and maiden names, as well, so this is a great place to start.
-
2
MySpace
Search MySpace.com, if your search at facebook yielded no results. The problem with MySpace is that not everyone is listed under their full names. Most young people are on MySpace, so if the person you are searching for has children and you know their name(s), try searching for their children if you cannot find them.

Zaba Search
Search ZabaSearch.com next. ZabaSearch will give you address and telephone numbers of last known addresses of the people that you search for. You must know the first and last name, however, and if the person you are searching for has a common name, you must know what state to search in as well.

Classmates.com
Search Classmates.com if the above searches have not worked. The good thing about Classmates.com is that women are listed under their maiden names. The problem with Classmates.com is that if the person you find does not have a premium membership, you will not be able to contact them unless you purchase the membership. And even then, they have to visit their site to read the email, so there are no guarantees that they will visit the site to read it.

Tips & Warnings
Ask friends and relatives for any information on the person(s) that you are looking for - the more information you have, the easier your search will be.
There is a good chance that the person you are looking for will not be as enthusiastic to be in contact with you as you are with them. Keep expectations low.
