Where many other address listing sites simply “scrape” other easily accessible websites for information – sites which may not be accurate or up-to-date – these people finder companies have done the arduous work of compiling all available public information from even offline sources all across the United States as well as address information gleaned from credit agencies and linked it all together. These sites specialize in finding people and can connect the dots between even long outdated address information and a current address (as well as a current phone number, relatives/associates, and other public records details). That said, in the course of your online searches you’re likely to come across another type of website – the premium address search. For example, if you ran a search for “John Doe Albany, New York” Google may very well find a listing for your John Doe with an address in Albany, New York, but if you’re looking to find a current address, you might not be given that information (nor are you likely to be given any suggestions for other addresses to explore). The limitation with this, however, is that Google (or Bing, Yahoo, etc.) often won’t make the deductive links you’d like it to. By entering a name and last known city and state, you may get some results that will lead you in the right direction. Plus, if someone moves somewhere that isn’t local, those print publications still aren’t going to be much use to you.Ī general search engine – such as Google – would be the obvious more comprehensive address finder.

While in years past, the local white pages would have been your go-to address finder (just look up a name and find a street address) not everyone is in the white pages and the information is quickly outdated. The US Census Bureau estimates that people move more than 11 times in their life – with most of those moves happening in adulthood. Whatever the situation, an address finder is a highly sought after tool. Perhaps you need to find someone’s address for business/legal purposes – such as debt collection.

Maybe you have lost touch with a family member or a military buddy, or school friend. There are times when a simple address finder would come in very useful.
