Now years have passed, and you are uncertain if you will ever see that person ever again. However, some things you can do may help you locate that lost love one.

Locating People by Social Security Number
Social security numbers are individual and they track people down the fastest. If anyone in the family has the social security number of the lost individual, then try to find it first.

Then all you need to do is go online and do a reverse social security number lookup. Enter the number along with the last name. This information will give you current and previous addresses of the individual. If nothing else, you will get a phone number and a place of employment.

From there, you can either do another reverse lookup on the phone number or place of employment to find the address of the individual. Then it is simple as calling or writing the person.

Locating the Person by Marriage Records
If you are looking a loved one and you are afraid they might be married, then a court records check is always a good idea. Then information is available to the public by Freedom of Information Act.

You will need:

• Name of Bride/Groom
• City (optional)
• State (optional)
• Age (optional)
• Credit Card/PayPal
• Internet Connection

The more information you have the better because it helps to narrow down the possibilities. All you do is go online to one of many court records databases. Type in the name of the person you are looking for with any additional information you have. Then you narrow it down until you get to the person you are trying to locate. It will then list any marriages associated with that person. If there is a marriage record, then you can cross check for a divorce record.

Locating People with a General People Search
If all else fails and you still are searching, then you can do a generic people search. This takes more time and you will need to narrow down the list more, but you can still find the person. Type in the name, city and state, and start narrowing down the list of people until you think you have found the person.

Your loved one is out there and you do not have to hire a private eye to find them. You can start searching today by SSN or through other databases in the comfort of your own home. You just may find your loved one tonight if you start looking.
