We’re not being forced into this by social convention or match-making aunts or dynastic imperatives. If you have a phone number and ZIP code, you can cross over the maps and get an even smaller area to search.Theoretically we are free to select the kind of person we love. You can contact the phone companies in that area, or get a phone book from the area, and make a map of the exchange area, based on like exchanges in the book. The next three digits of the number are the exchange area most exchange areas cover a small town, or a section inside a city, say a 10 x 10 block area. In the US, a phone’s three-digit area code can be traced back the location where a cell phone was issued, which might help you pinpoint another area where the person has lived or worked.Put the entire phone number in quotes and experiment with hyphens, periods, and parentheses to separate the numbers. If the person has listed or advertised their phone number anywhere on the Internet, it's likely to turn up. Though reverse-tracking a cell phone number usually costs money, you might get lucky by simply searching for the number on various search engines. Since cells are mobile and their numbers can be transferred to new phones or providers, people’s cell numbers are much less likely to change them their home numbers. Search for the person’s last known cell phone number. When searching for a woman who might have gotten married and changed her name, try adding 'né' in the search box with every variation (née is a word used to indicate that the person is using their maiden name).Many major search engines have different versions for different countries (Australia, China, etc.). If you suspect that the person has gone to another country, especially one where a different language is spoken, try a foreign search engine.(If you’re unsure as to spelling, don’t use quotation marks.) Plug it into major search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) the more variations and engines you try, the more info you're likely to find. To pull up exact matches only, put quotation marks around each version of their name.If you find another indication that the person with that name is in one of those locations, put a tick next to that location every time. Write down both of those locations in the profile with question marks. For example, you might find 'Bea Harrington' mentioned in a newspaper in Albany, NY and a “Beatrice R. Every time you find a page or clue that suggests other parts of the profile, write it down in the profile. Search for variations on the person’s name and/or nickname.
