Finding Distant Relatives
So, yesterday I encouraged you to start with you (and write down and collect information for genealogy beginnings). What? You cannot find Uncle George's son's birthday. Where is Fred living now?
There are some ways to find living people on the internet.
I usually start with Yahoo's People Search. However, it only gives information as it appears in the last local telephone directories. Actually, there are a lot of sites out there that do the same thing. Anywho is another popular one. What I like about Anywho is the reverse look-ups. What better url to remember than Addresses.com? Some more are Lycos and Whitepages.
Okay, so you are afraid to call Fred and ask him when his birthday is. Then try these two sites.
These two sites "wow" me. Test them with your own name. Be brave, be very brave! It really is an eye opener as to what is available on the internet.

Someone else has my name. She needs to give it back. And no, you won't find it under "Hummie," although Barbara does.
