Finding Living Family Members

On May 2nd, 2013 we discussed how you go about finding living famiy members. Here are some of the links that were discussed.

The FamilySearch Wiki is a wonderful place to learn about how to find genealogy records, in general.

You might check and make sure your person is still living by using the Social Security Death Index at FamilySearch

Searching for various records can be accomplished with Ancestry (through the Alameda county Library Web Site) and FamilySearch. You may want to check these types of records:

• Birth, Marriage and Death
• City Directories
• Census Records
• WW II Draft Registraton

Finding where people lived during their life can be tough. A list of People Searching sites was put together, that might help. One of the sites, PIPL.COM will search multiple web sites for people's phone numbers, addresses and associates.
