Searching for People:

1. Use one of the search engines above to find cities your target may live in.
   Note: It’s helpful to indicate target’s approximate age.
2. Select the city you believe target may live in.
3. You need to know what COUNTY the city is in.
   search example:  clearwater florida county
4. Next search for the County Property Appraiser's website
   search example:  pinellas county property appraiser
5. Go to the property appraiser’s website and click on the online record search.
   Note: Not all counties have their records available online.
6. After searching target’s name (or spouse’s name if known),
   a list of properties with addresses will be displayed.

If the above method doesn’t work, try the following websites using the city/state info you found in step #1 above.

If you’ve forgotten someone’s birthday, but know their city of residence or their age,
you may be able to find it here: http://www.birthdatabase.com/query.php
