I lost contact with my brother, Randy, about 8 years ago and I've been searching the internet without much success. Can anyone recommend a website (free or pay) that will have updated information on the person you're searching for?

Some of the websites I've used that didn't have current information for him are: Intelius, Melissadata, Ancestry, Zabasearch, Yellow, Whitepages and Zoominfo.

I was able to come up with 4 different home addresses for him but each letter I sent came back as "Not at this address, unable to forward".

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dang girl, you mentioned two of the websites I would have suggested.

I really can't help you, but, sure do wish you luck in locating him !

Maybe you could give us more info... like first and last name, location he may be in, age etc... there may be people here with 'better than public' information, but, they'll need more information.

You might also try http://www.investigate.net/ - and use the 'find people portal' at the top of the page.

here is a place you can do public record searches for texas.. if he's in the same state you are... most are free.

Have you tried just doing an advanced google search of his name? Sometimes that turns up things. How about looking on myspace?

Find an inmate in prison - (I know it works cus I found the neighbor in there! He's since been released so he shows up as 'released' but does'nt give a year or date of release)

another suggestion is to check websites like classmates.com or if you know of any of the people he was in contact with 8 years ago. Also, if push comes to shove and you by chance have his SS#, you could run a credit check and see whats the last address that shows up.

If you do have his social security number you can get his latest address for $4.95 here http://www.directscreening.com/ Click on "Social Security Number Report"


The social security number search provides information on a person's name, aliases, current and former addresses, and zip codes. When available, it also supplies date of birth, age, and current and prior phone numbers. This search is an excellent method for locating people, validating a social security number, or obtaining an address history. The information in this report can date back as far as twenty years.

His name is Randy Rombach and he's 49. The last known location I have is West Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Thank you to everyone that has responded. I will keep you up to date on what I find.

I've tried myspace and classmates.com. My brother is "old school" so I'm not sure he even knows how to turn a computer on! LOL

sent you a PM, think i might have located an adress from 05/23/2008, West Silaom springs is actually in oklahoma, that probably hampered your search

Thanks Karefree, Donna is actually his ex-wife and he's since married again to a lady named Naomi. That's the information I kept coming up with over and over and I knew that wasn't current for sure. Thanks for asking though. :-)

I'm happy to announce I received a phone call from my brother today after he received the letter I sent to him this past weekend. The address that MsLynn provided is in fact where he is living. I'm making plans now to go and see him.

THANK YOU to each and every one of you that responded to my request and especially a big THANK YOU to MsLynn! Without you, I may have never found him. You are a true angel my friend and I will forever be in your debt.

Ohhh that's wonderful! I found my brother three years ago by searching his name in Yahoo, and found I had a beautiful sister in law and niece!

I think about doing the same thing for my biological father, but I'm not sure about that anymore. My legal father (and the only man I ever knew) died when I was 16. I met my biological father when I was 20, but after that, he didn't have anything to do with me. His loss I guess.
