How to Find People on Windows
Almost everybody at some point feels the need to find people, perhaps to lookup an old school friend or to locate a missing relative. Although there are countless websites on the Internet that allow you to search people but it is simpler if you start off by using the default applications on your Windows computer. Windows has an address book, which you can use for searching people. Other than that, you can use an online directory.
