How to Use "Find People Search"

1) Start by entering a person's name in the search box. Select a state if you know the person is in that state. If you do not select a state, all 50 states will be searched. If the person has a uniqiue name, it is best to search all 50 states. If the person has a very common name it is best to select a state and include a middle initial in the search in order to help narrow your search results. Click the "Search" button.

2) After entering a name and clicking the Search button on the main page, you will land on a results page with a number of search input boxes populated with the name string you submitted. Each one of the search boxes leads to the results page for a different people search service on the Internet. You have three choices of how to quickly review the results pages for each of the people searches offered. You can simple click the button next to each box. This will take you directly to the results page for the corresponding people search. You can review the page then click your browser back button to return to the Find People Search results page to move on to the next people search results page. Or, you can click the link to the right of each of the submit buttons if you would like the corresponding people search results to appear in a new window. In order to use this option, you much disable any pop-up blocker you might have set on your browser in order to allow the new window to open. Finally, you have the option to select the "Super Search" button. This will search all the people searches listed simultaneously, opening a new window for each of the results. You will need to disable any pop-up blocker you might have set on your browser to use this option so that your browser can open a new window for each of the results pages. While opening new windows can be useful depending on how you prefer to do your research, we find that simply using the submit button for each search and using your browser back button using provides for the best functionality.

3) If after reviewing all search results options you still have not found the information you are looking for, you may need to use one of the premium search options offered on one of the search results pages you visited. You should carefully review all search results offered before paying for a premium service. Make sure to resubmit additional Find People Search queries with all the name and spelling variations of the person you are looking for before paying for a premium search. In other words, if you search for someone named Michael Summers, make sure to search for Mike Summers, too, before paying for a premium search. In the case of a woman you may be searching for who is or has been married, try researching using her maiden name or previous married name before paying for a premium search. In most cases, you can find the person you are looking for in free people search results if you truly exhaust all options of the person's name variations, middle initials and individual state searches for places the person lives or has lived.
