Why Free People Search?

Use People Search to Find People

Use Free People Search to Find People

You just never know when you might need a valuable free People Search service.  It can come at the most unexpected time.   I remember very well when I needed this service. I tend to get nostalgic over the holiday season, and that’s when I conducted my first free People Search.

I am retired from the US Air Force.  During my 20-years of service I made a lot of friends. Service members tend to move around a lot, so addresses constantly change.  That makes it very difficult to find old friends.

I found  a free People Search about 2 years ago.  I was looking for a friend that I met in Officers’ Training School.  I did a free people search on his name.  That enabled me to get a fix on his general location, his name, and his age.  It even listed his wife’s name which I remembered.  I was estatic!  What a great service.

I was a little reluctant to move forward.  I really didn’t know that I would have to pay for the information that I wanted.  After giving it some thought and talking to my wife, I decided to purchase the information.  In retrospect, it would have been a small price to pay.  However, I decided to try the free people search first.

I knew he’s love to hear from me, and that it would come as a huge surprise.  Plus, I was anxious to contact him.   I had less confidence in the free people search, and I had actually found a paid people search service that I could purchase that would give me his e-mail address and address.  Heck, I could have done a private background search on him as well!!!  My wife yelled at me for having that thought, so there went that bright idea!  It was very reasonably priced and would have cost like $29 for 3-years.  Actually, I later picked up this service to do other research on people that I do business with.

Well, I found him with the free people search.  I received his address, age, phone number and name (of course, I had only started my search with his name.)    I had remembered that that when I knew him over 25-years ago, he was from California, and the current address listed had him living in Oregon.  Plus, the age listed in the search sort of confirmed this to be him; as did his full name and past addresses.

So, I gave him a call.   Almost immediately, we were on the phone talking and catching up.  It was simply fantastic.  I was out on the West Coast on a business trip and made it a point to hook-up with him.  We now stay in regular contact.  He aslo has the same free People Search and paid account that I have and loves it.  He’s a small business owner and he actually uses the service to screen prospective employees. We were also able to find 6 other mutual friends.  I just feel that life’s too short not to rekindle the really important friendships that establised… no matter how long ago.
