The following links may also help if you are looking to locate a missing person:

1) Yahoo People Search - a simple online phonebook may have an answer.  This phonebook is run by Yahoo, still one of the biggest search engines on the Net.  >> Click here to visit.

2) WhitePages.com - the person finder section of WhitePages.com. >> Click here to visit. 

Another thing that might be worth doing is to use the search engines.

I would search for the name of the person as follows:

a) first name

b) "first name" i.e. in inverted commas.

If they have a definite career type or a strong hobby, I would search as follows:-

first name hobby and first name business.  So if I was looking for Mike Smith and I new he was a lawyer, I would search for Mike Smith law.

Search engines to try:

Definitely these, especially Google. 

1) Google.com

2) Yahoo.com

3) Blekko.com - a new search engine, claiming to be a very extensive search engine.
