New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/14/2014 -- The quickest way to find people nowadays is through social media sites. People lose contact of someone over time – a dear friend, classmate, relative, missing person, a debtor, or it could be someone you haven’t seen in a long time and would like to connect with. There is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and the list goes on, but what if the person is not on any of these websites at all? With the abundance of access to information online, there are a lot of people search engine sites available online, but what if the search comes to a dead end? Where does one go from here?

Seeking a professional people finder service’s help comes in handy. Many people try to perform searches on their own, but this can become frustrating and exhausting at some point. People can be wary nowadays, as misinformation can happen and so as following the wrong leads. Approaching a professional’s help makes it easier to find people, as such specialist companies only need a few information to locate a person.

What information is needed?
Finding people can be difficult and would require a honed skill, but it is never impossible to do. Given a full name of a person and an address even from decades ago are a few pieces of information needed by specialist companies. Knowing a person’s work history helps a lot. Had the person worked for the military service previously? Names of the missing person’s colleagues and friends would also be beneficial. Is it possible the person is serving a prison sentence? There are some states, which have this on public records.

What is the process?
Professional people finder companies access official record databases, such as birth, marriage records, and death certificates, which make it easier to find people regardless of their current marital status or if they are already deceased.

Data from these databases can also be cross-examined with credit reference information, as well as telephone records.

Is it safe?
Before seeking a specialist company’s assistance, make sure that it has been granted legal access to the database systems they use. Another thing to look for is an updated Data Protection License and members of the Credit Services Association. Be careful of companies who will ask for some money upfront, for it is an industry standard for companies to operate on a no find no fee basis.
