Looking for someone requires that you follow information from paper trails.  From the time we are born until after we die the average American citizen will leave a paper trail approximately seven miles long.

Many paper trails are public records that can be found at a court house, a public library, an archives library, and a city, state, or federal office.

Some records are private and laws prevent access to these records.  Bank records, medical records, and other records require either an authorization or court order to obtain.

Regardless of what you have to work with, the search begins where the trail ended with whatever you have to work with.  

Start with a list of information that you have to work with.  Do you have a correct full name?  Sometimes the name can be spelled different ways.  Do you have a last known address or place of residence?  Do you know any other relatives of this person?

A female is harder to find than a male because she may change her name.  An unusual name is easier to find than a common name.

Take your list of information and think of how many trails might exist based on what you have to work with.  Is this person listed in an old City/Suburban Directory at the library?  Did this person own property and pay property taxes?  Was this person married or divorced?  Where did this person work or attend school?  All of these are information trails that can lead to finding someone.

Following a paper trail is like working a puzzle, or going on a treasure hunt.

If you don't have time to follow a trail and need some help, let me know.  I can probably find what you need in only a few hours and not only save you time, but save you money.

Privacy laws protect certain information, but there are many public records available at public libraries, archive libraries, court houses, the internet, and many public offices.  Hiring a professional investigator can save you time and money because they have the knowledge and experience to know how and where to look for information.
