1. Who is this Book For?

All of us (at one time or another) have had a reason to research someone. Either we forgot an important phone number and couldn’t reach the person or we want to connect to a loved one who hasn’t been seen in years. Sometimes you just like to get to know someone a little better before you get into a relationship with them. There’s a thin line between research and stalking but there’s no argument that a little background information can go a long way.

When you’re trying to find someone, or find out about someone, there are a ton of resources at your disposal. The internet is the most common resource and we’ll be discussing it heavily in this book. You also have libraries, public records offices and libraries at your disposal. Whether you’re looking for long lost family members or just trying to get to know a potential new friend, researching people is extremely easy and affordable (especially in the 21st century.)

One thing I must make very clear about this book is that it’s intended for people who are searching for lost family members and friends, wanting to look up contacts they missed or trying to do their own background checks on people they might be working with. This is not intended as a guide for stalking and, honestly, if that’s what you’re into you’ll find only a very limited amount of valuable information here. This book does not contain any tips or tricks for illegally stalking people or circumventing personal security measures. These are simple steps that anyone can use to find people and find out public information that people have explicitly posted for the world to see. Public information is everywhere but not everyone knows how to actually use it to their advantage; with this book I hope to shed some light on that problem.
