Question
My questions is are there any people find,search web sites that are "free" I mean don't charge to see the results of the search. If so can you tell me a good one?

Answer
Yes and no, Tony, and a lot of folks get tricked into buying software like Net Detective which they find doesn't work finding people.  When I go searching for someone I first type as many variants of the name into Google to see if they left CyberTracks and if in the US might get an address.  Then I try Internet Whitepages like www.anywho.com.  For some other resources both free and for fee, Google on: find people.  Another good resource for ideas even though created for genealogy is at

Expertise

My expertise is searching the Internet for answers to almost any question or topic imaginable. I know how to ask the right questions. Just want to help others to try to find answers. The least I could do is try. I enjoy "the hunt."

Experience

I have 25 years experience in looking for answers to the most bizarre questions. For the past few weeks I was listed in the "Miscellaneous" category and folks somehow found me. Please check my ratings there for the past three weeks.
