Find a Woman Using Her Maiden Name
Template:StubIt can be difficult to find a woman if you only know her maiden name. Using a People Search service can help you discover a married name and learn how to reconnect with the right person.
Steps
- Visit a website that owns and sells public records. These records contain data that can help you find most anyone in the United States.
- Enter the woman's maiden name, and include any other information you know. This may be a city, state, age, Date Of Birth, etc.
- Complete the search to get a list of people who match your criteria. This may be enough to help you find the right person, but if not, you can keep trying.
- Collect all the addresses you received in your people search report. Run an address search on each one. This will provide you with a list of people who resided at each address.
- Review the list carefully and look for the woman's maiden name. In most cases you will be able to learn her married name from the report.
- Run another People Search using the woman's married name. This will give you the details you need to find her again.
- Keep in mind that most websites will allow you to look up the person you are looking for but will sometimes tell you that they couldn't find a match. Then they will want to send you to some website that will make you pay to get the info you need. The above 6 steps were great back when the net was still fairly free but now it is all about the money.
Tips
- Enter as much information as you know to get the best possible results.
- Speak to relatives of the woman you're looking for to see if they can assist you in your search. They may link to her.
