Detective work, need some ideas
I am looking for my husband's older sister. All I have to go by is her name, age and the town she lives in.
I did a random Google search and came up blank. Any ideas as to where to look? I don't have any social media memberships to access. And don't want any.
Please let us get our quilty brainstorming minds to work!!
Thanks so much in advance

You should try Facebook (to see if she has a page). There are also groups on Facebook, such as "Search Squad" which helps to find people. There are a lot of paid data bases ("Been Verified" is one that I can think of) that the search folks use. Also try Ancestry.com to see if she has a tree or appears on someone else's. You can often times track from there. Did you try "Whitepages.com" to see if there is actually a telephone listing? Sometimes the local library in the town you are searching in has city directories, phone books, etc. If it is a small town, sometimes calling town hall can get you a lead. (Tax records are public).
Let me know if you need anymore help. Good luck!

If she married it, then it may be harder to find her. FamilySearch.org -- https://familysearch.org/ -- is run by the Mormon church but it has a lot of info about folks who are not Mormon. Rootsweb ( http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/ ) is run by Ancestry but if you are careful to stay on Rootsweb it is free. If you know the area where she may live, some states have their marriages/birth information online in a searchable form.
