Missing Heirs

From the time we are born until after we die the average American citizen will leave a paper trail approximately seven miles long.  There are birth records, marriage records, divorce records, property records, voter records, driver's license, vehicle registration, employment records, credit records, educational records, professional license records, military records, asset records, liens and judgments, deeds, criminal records, utility records, death records, and many other records.

Some records can be accessed online, some records may be requested in writing, some records may be found with a phone call.  Public records are at court houses, libraries, and archive libraries.  Older records may be stored on microfilm and microfiche.  It takes time to search for records.  In some cases the records may be in a database. 

Information brokers purchase public records from various sources and resell the information in a database.  There are many online databases that charge a fee to access information, and no guarantee the information is correct or updated.   It is not uncommon for outdated or incorrect information to be online.  Years ago it was possible to purchase a disk that included every listed phone number in the U.S. 

There is no one source that is going to work on every search, however Ancestry.com is a good source for historical records including census records.  Census records are only available after they are seventy years old, so don't look for current information there.
