Do You Know How To Find a Person Online?

My grandfather is trying to find his brother.

He hasn't seen him in years and I only have his name and a couple of cities his lived in.

Ive tried on google search and have seen all the stupid sites that trick you and make you pay for the info.

If someone can help, thanks.

    ****First of all try the social security death index and make sure he is still living. If his name is not on the, chances are he is. Secondly, try Ancestry.com and at the bottom it will have a section that gives names and address for the past couple of years. Try that. Thirdly, switchboard.com

    Try those, you may find him . .. .

    Sadly most of the sites you do have to pay for, it's difficult which sites to tell you about with out knowing where your grandfather is resident. You could try the Salvation Army, they do an excellent job here in the UK and internationally. Here is the address for the UK Salvation Army anyway.

    Hope this helps.
