    This Community looks for the deceased, not the living. FamilySearch is a genealogy/family history website.

    Thank you for your question. FamilySearch does not provide tools for locating living individuals, and for privacy and safety reasons, living people are intentionally protected in the Family Tree. If you are trying to reconnect with a living friend, the best approach is to search for them on public social networks or platforms where individuals choose to share their own information.

    Common places to look include:

    • Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or other major social networks
    • Shared community groups, school alumni pages, or workplace pages
    • Mutual friends who may still be connected with them
    • Public search engines, using details such as their name, city, school, or workplace

    Please be mindful of privacy and avoid sharing personal information about living individuals here in the Community or on any website. If you do locate someone, always reach out respectfully and allow them the choice to respond.

    When trying to confirm that you have found the correct person, use details only you would reasonably know—such as a shared school, workplace, or mutual friends—without being intrusive.

    Also, be cautious when interacting online. Unfortunately, fraud and impersonation are common on the internet, and there will always be individuals who try to take advantage of others. Proceed carefully, verify identities, and protect your personal information at all times.
