How can I find a lost relative using the internet?

[flingebunt]

Most people use their real names on the internet these days.

A quick good search will find many peoeple with the same name.

Also try facebook, twitter, myspace and so on to find people of that same name. You can also look at websites designed to keep you intouch with old class mates.

Once you have their contact details and they seem to match your uncle's details contact him with a nice polite message and go from them.

Also don't forget the good old fashioned phonebook (it is online these days).

If that fails simply get in touch with a detective agency. They know how to get access to all sorts of public records and will be the best bet to try and track someone down.
