The Easy Way to Find People By Name
We all know that life happens sometimes and we lose touch with people. Old friends, coworkers, landlords, sometimes even family members. When you don’t have anything but a name to go off of, it can be hard to find someone. So, how does one find people by name? There are a few ways to go about it, depending on if the person you’re looking for wants to be found.

Finding People Using the White Pages.
People have been using the White Pages directory for years to find names, phone numbers, and addresses of people. It’s an easy way to see where people are, and possibly get in touch with them. They still have a website, and some phone companies still even print out these phone directories.
This can be hit or miss because it’s very easy to opt-out of being put into a directory, so if the person you’re looking for doesn’t want to be found it’s unlikely they’ll be in the white pages. All someone has to do to be removed from the white pages is contact them and ask to be removed, it really is that easy.
The Social Media Approach.
With the rise of social media, especially Facebook, it’s never been easier to find someone with their name. Facebook is a website that requires all users to use their real names, so as long as the person you’re looking for has a Facebook account there’s a good chance you could find them and reconnect with them that way.
Of course, there’s nothing stopping someone from using an alias to avoid people from finding them this way. In many cases, so long as it looks like it could be their real name the website’s moderation is unlikely to catch it. While this can be a powerful and helpful tool to aid in your quest for finding who you’re looking for, the internet is a place where total anonymity can be achieved if someone wants and knows how to.
Using a Background Check Service.
Companies all across the country have popped up online to help with this kind of service. These companies have access to public records nationwide to assist you with your search. SpyFly is a good example of this kind of company, and they do their best to bring you the most up-to-date, accurate information available. They also are able to bring up search results instantly and can provide information such as active warrants, criminal history, driving history, and even phone records if available. If someone really doesn’t want to be found, it’s possible that they could even slip through the cracks of these kinds of websites but if they have their name tied to any publicly available information nationwide, you’ll be able to find it.
Reconnecting With Old Friends can be Challenging.
If someone just doesn’t want to be found, it’s entirely possible for them to completely disappear. People do it all the time, but even if you know someone that wants to disappear there are still some ways to locate them. Whether it’s an old friend and you need to catch up, an adult child of yours that left home and you need to reach them, or even an old lover that you have important information for. There’s usually a way to find someone so you can get in touch with them.
