Contact family members or friends of the person you are trying to find. Ask if they have information on the person you seek, such as a new address or phone number. - 2). Call the schools your friend attended. College and high school alumni offices can offer information if your friend is a registered alum. Ask for any updated information they may have in the school database.
- 3). Register with social networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace or Friendster (see References). Registration is fairly quick, and membership is free. Thousands of people worldwide use newtorking sites for professional and personal reasons.
- 4). Type your friend's name into the "Search" prompt on these sites. Many users publish photos on their pages. This is helpful if your friend has a common first and last name, such as "Joe Smith."

Review the page of the person's name you entered, as multiple pages for the same name may come up. Check the information to see if it coincides with what you know of your friend. This could be names of siblings, schools he attended or awards and accomplishments that you know your friend was a part of. - 6). Leave a message on your friend's page if you think you found her. Your friend will get the message the next time she logs on, and will reply if she wants to reconnect with you.
