I Find People From My Past Using Friend Search

When I want to find people from my past I usually can find people by maiden name or I sometimes do a find people by phone number search using the power of the internet.
I'm not ashamed to admit I'm not a spring chicken anymore, and the older I get the more I've begun to wonder what happened to so many people I knew, and more importantly... how to locate people from my past.
Folks from my generation went their separate ways and only now have begun to find each other slowly using the power of Free Internet People Search.

Find People from Your Past or Find People by Maiden Name - Difficult for Earlier Generations 

Our Generation Couldn't Stay in Touch

I'd long wondered what happened to my friend Jaime. How do you find people by maiden name when you've got no phone number, no address, many times (for married women) not even a current last name!

Jaime was pretty quiet growing up and though we weren't that close I still held her in high regard as someone I was always glad to see. Then sometime around Junior year of high school she simply vanished. I spent many times wondering what happened to her, and I would ask any person I happened to run into from those times if they'd seen or heard from her. No one had run into Jaime since high school. She was a ghost. It would have been nice if there was a way to do a friend search but the internet was only in labs and universities. As it turns out, the friends I did see from that time also had people they wondered about. Reggie wondered about Sheila, for example, or Bill. Nobody knew what happened to these friends from long ago. There was no way to stay connected back then.

Gen Xers Couldn't Find People They Once Knew 

We Were Caught In Between the Boomers and the Web Kids

You see I have long thought myself part of the 'gap' generation between the baby-boomers who really have had all the power and connections and resources for so many years, and the children of that generation who now appear to be slowly taking the reigns from their parents. My generation has been stuck in between trying unsuccessfully to play catch up from the day we all graduated high school and went our separate ways.

The older generation has always had the strong networking contacts, and the younger generation grew up with the internet. That left the rest of us pretty well estranged from each other. Not anymore though, as now we can search by name, address, social security number... heck we can even find people by phone number!

Internet Explosion Opens Public Records to the Masses

I'd given up all hope of finding my friend Jaime. After 15 years and not running into a single person who'd either heard from or seen her, I figured she was gone forever. Then one day I stumbled upon an amazing website a find people from your past service. I could find people from my past, or find people by maiden name, and do as many searches as I wanted... for FREE! How cool is that? So I figured, why not? I clicked on this ad and did a find people by maiden name search for Jaime... and lo and behold there was a public record for her down in Florida, including her new married name! All I had to do was submit a valid email address and Voila! I had my answers. Another search on the married name produced an email address.

Connection at Last! Find a Friend Search Produced Results 

One email later Jaime it turns out was living in the next town over, less than 15 minutes away! 15 years and I don't know how many hours spent wondering where she was or what happened to her was solved in two searches, ten minutes, and a cup of joe from Dunkin Donuts. A search to find people by maiden name took less than a minute and I had all the information I needed to call her up and say hello.
Jaime and I have been able to maintain contact since and I am happy to report she and her family are doing well and have found some happiness together.

    I had the biggest "crush" on a girl in 1963. I saw her in my Business College in Cincinnati. She was so beautiful, 3 or 4 months later she moved to New York and I never saw her again! We exchanged several letters and six months later she told me she was getting married! That was 46 years ago, and I've always wondered about her! Can you help me?
