How do you find someone who has disappeared?

Answer 1

It depends. Are you looking for someone who is still alive or are you searching for a long dead ancestor? The search methods aren't exactly the same. For ancestors, try a Surname Search on a site like rootsweb. You can also try usgenweb. If you know a state they were from, go to the sites State Pages, select the state and search from there. Or you can search the US Genweb Project Archives. Finding living people can be a little more tricky, unless you know how to go about it. I do. Here is more advice: * You obviously have to narrow your search. Assuming you are looking for a deceased relative you have to look for clues - are there family stories about this person, or their family? This might give you a starting point. Then you could try census records for that location - that would at least give you an idea of what decade you might be looking for. For example I have census records for a specific family group. Then in the following census - the parents and oldest are missing, and the three youngest children are residing at the same location with a different female with the same last name. Looking at the city directories listed the father residing at the address right up to the year before the census. This narrows the search for death records, for example, to between of the last city directory listing and the date the census was taken. Maybe an older relative might have a scrapbook with a newspaper article, memorabilia, or obituaries. A obit for another relative might list the person you are looking for with the location of their residence at the time the obit was written.
