The Art and Science of the Free People Search
How many people have the name Mike Johnson? Or Sarah Freeman? If you type a name into a search bar or social networking site, you'll find out there are dozens, sometimes hundreds or thousands, of people who almost match the person you're looking for.
To search effectively, you have to search smart. There's more to a free people search than a Google search. A free people search uses a few simple pieces of information - a name and a previously known city - the same as a Google search, but it trawls an entire database of public records rather than websites. This means that a free people search gets radically different (and more accurate) results than any other kind of online people search because it checks a better set of information. Almost everyone has a phone number in a phone directory (a form of public record), but how many people publish it on a website? A free people search site like People411 will find people that a standard web search will miss.
People411 has collected billions of public records - both current and historical records - on all of the 200 million adults in the US. Public records (the vast majority of which are not available in a regular online search) reveal the most pertinent information:
- Phone numbers
- Current and past addresses
- Ages
- Relatives, roommates, and neighbors
A free people search can use any information you have to find the most current information. So, if your friend Mike Johnson used to live in Akron, Ohio, just enter that name and address. A free people search through People411 will search past and present addresses histories for Mike Johnson from Akron and find him - even if he now lives in Pueblo, Colorado.
The results of a free people search can be expanded to encompass other, premium areas, like email address searches, social network searches, and more standard criminal and background checks.
