Do you have a name for the person you are looking for, you would need to look on ancestry.com and trace them and if they are married then you would need zabasearch for current look up addresses ect.

Rootsweb is very good for finding anybody anywhere. I found American relatives that way. Sometimes there are pages devoted to the same name though may not be your name but they make fascinating reading! If you come up against a likely or possible interest just write a postem note or send an E mail. However, if the info was written a few years ago the E mail address can be out of date. I have sent mails and left Postem Notes. The mails have never replied and I had to wait 14 months for my postem to have a reply but when it came it was very well worth it. Now have a wonderful connection in America. Postems are read by other people so just as good as an E Mail. http(://)lists(.)rootsweb(.)com/ Janet

If you are looking for living relatives here are a few I use: Online telephone directories...if they have a publicly listed telephone number you would have luck with one of these: www.anywho(.)com www.whitepages(.)com This next site is helpful whether a telephone number is listed or not.....the initial name/location search is free and for a small fee you can get telephone number, address and a few other details: www.ussearch(.)com Remember to remove the ( ) from the web addresses.
