Have you tried Fast People Search? It's free and will search with relationships revealing phone numbers, emails and current addresses. It's very helpful.

Good Luck!

johncooper34, Was Bobby Sheldon last seen in Orlando or from Alabama?

I find a lot of information about living people from familytreenow.com

This is a free site to use to gain information, but you do have to be careful that you don't click the ads that want you to pay. After you have entered the basic information about an individual and you see some results, you can refine the search criteria to a more specific birth year or location.

Also, ive found https://www.searchquarry.com/ to be quite useful as well. And I LOVE beenverified... it has free and paid features. I find most of what I need with the free access.

Do we have a link for living people searches at the bottom anywhere? I found this on the FS wiki page

https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Finding_Living_People_in_the_United_States?cid=fb-SC-3729

 

lol I figured I’d post here since this is the only thread I’ve seen (or can remember) for searching living people 😊

This is a useful link for the @Adoption and Unknown Family Research​ and @Genetic Genealogy Research​ groups. Both groups also look for living relatives to learn more about their unknown family.

This page has a list of resources that I often use:

I find lots of info on living persons at Ancestry.com, less so on FamilySearch.

have you tried familytreenow.com? I don't know if anyone really puts familytrees on this site, but I know that you can find a lot of free information about living people that is gleaned from public records.

depends what you mean by that

Family Search Family Tree does not display for living persons.

but there are public domain records that are indexed by Family Search Records as well as I'm sure Ancestry.

 

but most of such sources are not really designed to actually LOCATE living people

like various databases that are on the Internet - such as a few listed here:

😂 @Carolyn Webber​ its funny you say that cause I put a few relatives on there in a tree ... it’s hysterical cause the only time I get emails saying “we have found new records for your relative blah blah blah”, is usually a few days/weeks after I’ve added new info for said relative here or at ancestry 🤣
