So if you do have an address or phone number of the old friend, try looking up with them on the people search sites on the relevant search boxes.

People search sites that you might consider trying would be The White Pages, 411, Yellow Pages, Verizon and Zabasearch. These are sites that offer white pages information for free online.

Social Media Sites

Search engines such as Google and Yahoo are the go to places when people are looking to find something online. You might consider giving them a try. To help your search, adding a city might prove resourceful too. Again, it would be a much easier process if the person has a unique name.
If these solutions don’t give any positive outcome, a private investigator might be the next suggestion. They will cost to hire though but might give you what you need.
A lookup with a name only is like looking for a needle in a haystack as most searches will return a massive amount to hits to lookup from. Searches with a phone number, email address, residential address and places of employment might give you the results that you desperately need.
