does anybody know how to find someone....

Sat Jun 15, 2013 9:01 am

This is going to seem strange but there is a genuine reason behind me asking. I am looking for a member of my family who I have never met but it is important that I get in contact with him. All I have is a name, previous address and what university he went too. If any body knows of any way I could find the member of family could you please pm me. Serious answers only please as this is very important. Thanks

Have you tried social networking sites? That's pretty much all I have without laying out money and hiring someone

Awful stalking technique there Moff! :lol:

In all seriousness though, without using a private detective you should start with social networking sites or things like LinkedIn.

If he went to university and he's not on LinkedIn then he went to a rubbish university.

Try and keep it simple initially. If the old address is local try and visit it and knock on neighbours doors - this worked for me and got a positive result as they still had contact details of the person I was looking for :thumbup:
