Find people quickly and inexpensively. Locate hard to find missing persons. Find old friends, relatives, class-mates, deadbeats, military personnel.

SPECIAL NOTE:
We do not search for or report any information concerning minors (persons under the age of 18) or celebrities. Also, if your subject has recently turned 18, it is unlikely that these searches will locate useful data about them. If you are searching for someone who is not yet 18, or who has recently turned 18, it is advised that you try to locate them by locating the parent or guardian who is, or most recently was responsible for their care.

"Just about anybody who is not hiding can be found -"

- and, many people who are hiding can be, as well. It all depends on what you know about the person you are trying to find, and how effectively you use that knowledge. The following tips can help you determine what information can be useful, give you pointers on where to look for useful information, and show you how to put that information to work to find even the most elusive missing person quickly and inexpensively. For example: If you know a person's Social Security number, the chances are very good that they can be located in a matter of minutes. Or, if you know a person's name and date of birth, it is likely that they can be located within a few hours. If your subject recently relocated, try our Forwarding Address Search.

If you are searching for a missing relative or spouse or had a relationship with the person you're looking for, did you participate jointly in tax returns, utility bills, real estate, bank accounts, etc.? Did the person belong to a labor union, club or fraternity? Did they have a pilot's license or a professional license? If so, search your records for something that might have their Social Security number or their exact name and date of birth. In many instances, such as with tax returns, bank accounts and utilities where you were shown as joint participant, you can request a copy of an original application, tax form, etc. from the institution or agency in question.

If you are searching for an old friend or class-mate, an old girlfriend or boyfriend or a military buddy, and you know their name as it would be right now, and their exact or approximate date of birth or how old they were then or the difference between your age and theirs, you may be able to find them with either our Name and Date of Birth Search; or, in the case of a female who might have since married, divorced, etc., and thereby changed her last name, our First Name and Date of Birth Search. Or, if you have their previous address, and it has been less than ten years since you lost contact, our Address Update Search will almost definitely find them. (The Address Update Search is also one of the best ways to locate a female since it uses the name they used then in combination with their previous address to find their present name, address, etc.).

If all you know for certain about your subject is their name and the city and state where they resided, a very handy source of information found at the library is a reference book often referred to as the "City Index" (sometimes called "The Criss-Cross Directory" or "The RL Polk Directory"). The City Index is something like a town yearbook in that there is usually one for every year. It is essentially a compilation of census data that practically every town with a library maintains. It contains information on virtually every dwelling and business in the town, and it's cross referenced by name and address, which means that if you have a person's name, you can almost definitely find their address from the time in question. And, it often contains other useful information, such as type and/or place of employment, spouse's name and employment, etc. The idea is to use those old reference books, the telephone books and city index, to find an exact previous address so that you can use that information along with your subject's name in an Address Update Search and almost definitely locate their current whereabouts very quickly and inexpensively.

If you only have the barest minimum of identifying information, such as only that your subject is a female, born on a certain date, we have a section designed specifically for such cases. For complete details about how to find people when only sketchy details are known, refer to our Special Order and Genealogy Searches.

NOTE: We do not provide a person's complete SSN. There are companies that can be found on the Internet who advertise that they will provide a person's Social Security Number for a price; however, we do not provide that information nor do we provide names of companies that do.

If the person is deceased, you might be able to locate their Social Security number and/or exact date of birth in the following places:

• Personal papers

• death certificate

• funeral home records

• records held by financial institutions

• voter registration rolls at county courthouse

• former employers of the individual

If you have the date of birth and those sources don't produce the Social Security Number, you may request a "records search" with the Social Security Administration. To request this service you must send $16.50 and provide the following information: full name, state of birth, and date of birth to:

Providing names of parents are also helpful, especially with common surnames. Be sure also to provide proof of death, as the records of living individuals are not publicly available.

If the person is living, the only legal sources that are permitted to provide a person's SSN, other than searching documentation you may have possession of or access to, are local, state and federal agencies, courts and attorneys. 

Locating a woman can be made quite easy...if you have the right information. Of course, as with any search, the Social Security Number is the best single bit of data you can possess. With an SSN Trace, it doesn't matter what name she may be using, a new last name, an alias, or whatever. If she uses the SSN, it is likely that she can be located very quickly.

But, if you don't have the SSN, the next best thing is a previous address less than ten years old, combined with the first and last name she used when she lived at that address. With that information, we can locate her current address, determine her present name, etc..

In lieu of the SSN or a previous address, it is possible to locate your Subject by any of several other combinations of search criteria. But, keep in mind that the records we obtain are indexed by a person's present name, DOB, address, and SSN. Therefore, in order to have a reasonable chance at a successful search of a woman you haven't had contact with in many years, you need some solid information, such as the name she uses now and her exact date of birth. That is, unless she has a very unusual name, in which case, depending upon how unusual the name is, you may be able to locate her with only the name and an approximate date of birth, or no date of birth at all. Our Name and DOB Search, First and Last Name Search, and  are designed for such situations.Name and Area Search

However, in most cases when searching for a woman, if you do not have the SSN, and you do not have a previous address less than ten years old, we suggest a First Name and DOB Search. That search obtains all available records of persons matching the first name and DOB, regardless of last name. For example, if you knew Brenda Jones, born 08/08/1955, by using that search, you might find her now as Brenda Smith, because the first name and date of birth remain constant, making them the best search criteria in such cases.

We specialize in locating hard to find people. Our system of in-depth investigation combines the facts you provide at the beginning of the search with our knowledge and experience and our large reservoir of information sources to help you locate your subject. And, we have recently included an inexpensive database search specifically designed for locating adoptees when only a few identifiers are known. For complete details, please see our Special Order and Genealogy Search.

Be sure to read the following before you submit a request for an in-depth investigation. It contains valuable information that anyone involved in an adoption related search should know.

If you are an adoptee in search of your bio-family, the first thing you should do is acquire your Adoption Decree and your "non-identifying" information from the agency that handled your adoption. Your non-identifying information is a synopsis of your adoption as noted by the case-worker who was assigned your case. Information deemed "identifying" by the person who releases the file to you will be marked through or erased, or, in some cases, omitted. But, there is usually enough left to shed much light upon your identity and to offer some clues that could generate leads. We have solved many adoption cases with nothing more to go on than the adoptee's "non-identifying" file.

You should also obtain a copy of your amended birth certificate. In some cases we have been able to cross-reference an amended birth certificate with the original. The original birth certificate contains vital information needed to locate a bio-parent.

If you can find out exactly where you were born, including the name of the hospital, we can, in some cases, determine your bio-parents names, etc., from public records such as, birth registries, birth announcements, etc. And, in some states, hospital birth records are not sealed. These records contain information about your bio-mother, bio-father and the person or persons who checked your bio-mother into the hospital. Adoption cases have been solved in just a few hours after we obtained the hospital admission records.

Also, if they are supportive of your search, learn all you can about your bio-parents and your adoption situation from your adoptive parents and other relatives, and from friends of the family. Sometimes a seemingly insignificant fact turns out to be the vital clue that leads to the solution of a case.

Write a narrative of your case, including every detail you have. Mail, FAX or E-mail it to Aaron's for evaluation (NOTE: If E-mailing, do not include an attachment. Because of the risk of being 'infected' with a E-mail borne virus, we do not open E-mail messages that contain attachments.). This evaluation will cost you nothing. A professional adoption researcher will contact you via the means specified in your correspondence to discuss your case and to give you further pointers on how to locate your bio-family.
