What are ways to find a family member?

[Cassidy G]

My father passed away when I was 11 and I never knew his side of the family. I know where he grew up and his father's name, but I can't find them on 411....what are some other ways to find a family member?

Did he have an Obituary in the newspaper? Have you seen it? Ask your mother if he had siblings. His death certificate should have his father's and mother's names. Go to Genealogy Surname message boards for your father's surname and post information and ask for help. One of his relatives might find your message and find you.
Here is one but there are others:

In genealogy, we research our ancestors not living people but sometimes you can find people on Facebook and MySpace. If that fails try:

If they own property or have recently sold property, some states property tax records are online and a few states have probate records online. You will be able to find little else online.

There are companies that specialize in background checks to screen potential employees for companies that could be helpful in locating someone or you could hire a private detective.
