How People Searches Work


There are plenty of reasons to search for the whereabouts of a person. People interested in connecting with family members, adopted children searching for biological parents, or someone searching for that best friend from first grade are all interested in connecting with someone from their past. With the Internet and databases full of public information, finding someone is easier than ever today.

Legitimate search organisations have large databases containing information from public records. Anyone has access to these records through local government agencies, but it's not always convenient to visit these agencies to obtain the information. Birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, real estate transactions, and military records are all part of the network of public information. When you enter information about someone on a people search site, this information is matched to information available in the public records. Your search can be completed in a matter of minutes instead of hours or days.
