ZabaSearch

ZabaSearch is another very valuable search tool. This search engine is owned by the same company that owns ussearch.com. With the basic search, you can view nationwide results, often including birth dates, phone numbers and addresses. Think whitepages on steroids. This search is free and can be used to search by name and state. A recent search of my name returned 248 nationwide results. You can also use the advanced search option. With this option you can enter first, middle and last names as well as birth year, town and state. Zabasearch also has an option to search by phone number. The search will take you to the Intelius site. This search will not tell you whose number it is but will give you the location of the phone number as well as whether it is a cell number or land line. At this site you can click details and find out whose number it is for the low price of $4.99. This site can be valuable in locating anyone or at least finding a place to start. Try it and you will not be disappointed. You can find the link to the right of this post.

USSearch.com

Another great tool to use is ussearch.com. This is a pay site, however they have a free search. The search will return names, known associates and towns the subject has lived in. You can then chose to pay a low-cost fee to view these results. This is one of the least expensive, and most valuable, people search I have come across. You will find a search link to the right of this post. Here is how it works. Say I am the subject. When I search my name, the results listed 50 throughout the United States. You know that I used to live in Davis, Ok, so we will look for that city on the list. I am listed as number 28 on the list. Along with Davis, Ok, the town's of Duncan and Sulphur are also listed. This gives some towns to start your search at. If you knew that I was named after my father, you would find five towns listed with his name. Should you wish to purchase the results, to the right you will see a link for "view details". Clicking on this link will take you to the purchase link. For only $1.95, you can receive a list of known addresses and phone numbers for this result. For $19.95, the site claims to have 10 different addresses for me and will also give you a current address and phone number if known. For $39.95, the site will do a complete financial and state criminal background check on me. Remember, this information is not guaranteed. This site will give you a good place to start. In the next post, I will discuss how valuable an old address can be in locating a lost love.
