*I heard a rumor recently that he was living in Omaha, Nebraska. I
called directory assistance there and got a message which went
something like...
"I'm sorry...this number is unpublished AT THE CUSTOMER'S REQUEST"
(note...the recording acknowledged that the number exists in Omaha!!!)

| This isn't really an appropriate topic for this conference. I suggest you
check out MEIS::ASKENET note 3537 which poses essentially the same question;
there were many good suggestions there.

| There is lots of information that can be obtained from the city and
town directory listings that can be found at local public libraries.
These directories carry information like occupation or former
occupation, if the person is married it will list the spouses name,
etc. There is also a directory called the Polk directory which is
compiled by a private firm. Also available in the public libraries.
I got lucky once when phoning an out-of-town library branch. The clerk
was willing to look up a name in the city and town directory for me and
read the information over the phone.
Also, there are many search and support groups that help adoptees and
birth parents find missing family members and they are well versed in
the various ways to locate missing people. You might try contacting
some of these organizations for suggestions as well.
Good luck.

| 810.7 | funeral homes keep records | TNPUBS::STEINHART | Laura | Mon Jul 27 1992 13:52 | 8 |
| Any funeral home will keep permanent records of the living relatives
and often the city where they live. If you can trace this man's father
or mother and contact the funeral home that took care of them, you
should at least be able to get his name if not his residence at the
time when the parent died.

| 810.8 | Try The State Gov't | VINO::LIU | Just A Dumb Aviator | Mon Jul 27 1992 17:12 | 9 |
| You can try calling the state motor vehicle department and the college
or university that the person attended. Motor vehicle records are
general public. It is very, very surprising what you can just walk in
and get. A current address will certainly be available. College
alumni offices also seem to keep track of people (even when you don't
want calls asking for donations....). I found a friend whom I hadn't
seen in five years that way. Interestingly enough, they would not give
me her address, but they took my name, address and phone number and
sent them to her. Two days later the phone rang....
