Today with the internet the opportunities for finding school friends are limitless...
On this page you'll find the websites, the tips and resources and the actions you should take to find any friend from your school.
First things first
Did you know there are specialized sites to help you find your lost school buddies? One such site is Reunion with over 34 million registered users.Hey, I cannot guarantee you'll find the person you're looking for but your odds will increase tenfold.
The first step is: Go and register there. Here is the link.
Then come back and I'll lead you through some of the other steps you need to take.
Classmates
Another great site except Reunion that specializes for finding school buddies is Classmates. Before you decide whether to register you should check if your high school/college is in the list and then see how many people are there. It is a great website you can take advance of. What about Whitepages?
Oh, you thought I'm not gonna mention them here?Of course that public record directories are one of the best sources for you to find school friends.
The official website of Whitepages is WhitePages.com
If you're not from US you'll want to check international whitepages directories on this InfoBel list. Here you have a list of websites for locating people for ALL THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.
Some other sites
Maybe you found someone with Reunion? But they haven't logged in for months. Hm, what should we do now?Maybe check if they are active on some of the social networks! MySpace, Facebook and Hi5 have their own people search engines. You can through all of them using some free people search engines like Wink.
Also you should take a look at this website on how to locate a person which includes the following pages:
Locate a person by name
locate a person by address
locate a person by phone number
Check them out!
What about paid search engines?
DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO SOME PAID PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE...unless you make sure you can't find your school friends using the free ones. The paid people search engine industry is FULL with scams and you should be very wary before trying to purchase something.I recommend you take these steps before giving out your credit card:
1. Check the company RipOff Report
2. Read the company policy to see exactly what you're getting. Most companies simply collect data from free public record databases on the internet and charge you for it.
3. Check discussion boards to see what people are saying. The best way to do it is: Go to Google, enter the name of the company and then inurl:forum. See what you get.
ONE GREAT TIP!

When going to social networking sites like hi5 and MySpace check the groups! Usually there are people who created groups and are from your high school. If there aren't any it is up to you to create a new group so anyone else like you who is interested in finding school friends can join!

- Thanks for the tips. The one about seeing if there's already a group for your high school on various social networking sites is a great place to start.

- I have several friends from school I've been able to find online but there are still more to be found. Thanks for the great ideas. Maybe I can get a high school reunion underway yet!
