Find A long lost freind?
I sent an Xmas card to a dear freind a year or two ago that came back saying changed address. The year before I didn't send him a card but he sent me one and his wife said he had been ill in the card. Now I'm afraid he has passed away. Do you know any way I can find him on the Internet? I'd love to find where he lives. I know some things say they can find him but I don't know if they are just a ripoff.

try mailing a letter to the post office where he used to live and ask for a forwarding address under the freedon of information act it costs $4 if that doesnt work and you know the wifes name you could check the DMV records of the state.
if you really think he died you can check his name, location, and birthdate against the records kept by the "church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints"website google it and they have a death record site for free that can tell you if he died and it spits back his social security number.. you can also look to post on ancestory .com or rootsweb .com these are some of the tricks investigators use

What Zaba Search does that the Yellow Pages doesn't do is sometimes gives the birth year of the person listed.
So if you're looking for someone and know what year they were born, you have a better chance of finding that person.
My mom is listed in Zaba, but not the Yellow Pages.

Sweet!
I just Zaba'd an old Air Force buddy and 411'd him as well which also brought up his wifes name which confirms it for me. Listed his number and I will be call him in the morning. Was just thinking about him today. Ain't seen them in 15 years. Thanks for the links!
