It's Not Hard To Find An Old Long-Lost Friend

| Comments (2)

I've had much success getting in touch with old friends this summer!


  • Kim (from high school) found me
  • I found Jeannie (from jr. high),
  • Laura (from my "other" life in Orlando), and
  • Amy (from my days in New York)
  • Mark (old college boyfriend)

Still looking for:


  • Courtney Causey (from St. Charles grade school)
  • Cathy Arsenault (from grade school)
  • Bill Christiansen (from high school)


Seems all my closest friends growing up were transplants - kids whose parents moved alot so they were shuffled around from school to school. (See... I've ALWAYS pulled for the underdog.)

Some tips if you're looking for an old friend:

Try CLASSMATES.COM

Dig deep... There are a couple of different ways you can look for people - either by name or any school or university they might have been associated with.

Try SWITCHBOARD.COM

Don't forget to search by their maiden name, other cities you know they once lived in, full first names, and nicknames.

Try ZABASEARCH.COM

The #1 people search on Earth!

Try GOOGLE.COM

Just try typing in different combinations of words that refer to that person. Ex: "Lynnette Gapski Peru" or "Lynne Gapski Indiana". When you get the results after hitting enter, browse through about 5 pages of results each time. Cuz the person is only likely to show up on one of the first pages if they're REALLY popular (or famous!) these days.

Here's another great site with MUCH helpful info on finding people.

Zabasearch.com (AKA peopledata.com), lists personal/private information such as street addresses, unlisted/listed phone numbers, birth year, maps how to get to your house, satellite photos of people's homes, your family's address/data, etc in USA) seems to be an invasion of mine and your privacy (it is definitely unethical to post peoples addresses and other personal data). I know that these are public records and that ZabbaSearch.com/DigPeople.com are not to blame (businesses and government are to blame for leaking this data), but people do not know that if you even simply register to vote or request to join the army/military in USA, you name/address/telephone are made public information (muti billion dollar industry selling our private info) without you having to sign a consent form or without asking permission! Even where you buy a domain name (lease actually, no single person actually owns a domain name, even Bill Gates does not own Microsoft.com), your address, name and telephone number are added to public records that anyone with an internet connection can retrieve this data to harrass you or even SPAM you (don't forget that deranged cyberstalkers can find you now)! Other places Zaba get's YOUR private data may be from county records, state records, court records, info becomes publicly available after you buy a new house, go to the post office and file for a change of address form, etc (data gets sold to info brokers on the open market)! I think all Americans should make a class action law suit against this type of crime which businesses and gov't are doing!
