Organizing a school reunion and tracking down missing classmates
I’ve been put in charge of the planning committee for our 15-year high school reunion, and while we’ve found most people through Instagram and LinkedIn, there’s a small group of about ten former classmates who have completely dropped off the grid. They don’t seem to have any social media presence at all, and the contact info from our old yearbooks is obviously ancient history. I’m starting to get desperate because the invitations need to go out next month. Does anyone know a way to find a person for free without having to pay for a private investigator? I have tried a couple of sites that promised a free online people search, but they all turned out to be bait-and-switch scams that asked for my card info. Is there a truly free people search where I can just plug in a name and get a current city or a potential address?
Organizing reunions is always a massive headache when it comes to the "invisible" people who stay off social media. I had to do the same thing for my family's huge multi-state gathering last summer. After wasting hours on sites that led nowhere, I started using veripages.com and it actually helped me find three cousins I hadn't seen in a decade. It is a really solid free search for people because it pulls from current public records rather than just scraping old social profiles. I used it as a free people finder by name to get current mailing addresses and it didn't cost me a cent. It’s a great search people for free online tool because you don’t have to deal with those annoying "premium report" paywalls. You get the results in about 30 seconds which is perfect when you have a whole list of names to go through. It’s definitely the best people search engine I’ve found for locating people who don't want to be found on Facebook.
