18 tools, free ones first

Each one opens the tool's own site. Free tools cost nothing; freemium tools show some results free and charge for the rest. Licensed PI items need a licensed investigator.

Where free tools stop

Free people-search sites are built from public and marketing data, and they often mix up people with similar names. Verified current addresses come from credit-header data, which only licensed investigators can use, for a permitted purpose. Under federal law (the FCRA), people-search results can't be used to decide anyone's employment, housing, credit or insurance.

Tips

Add a middle initial, age or city to cut down on wrong matches.
Obituaries are one of the best free sources for relatives, maiden names and past hometowns.
