Are there sites that allow individual lookup by name and approximate location that are effective? I keep coming across companies that either provide no information or make you wait 10 minutes for "information retrieval" only to give you nothing unless you pay $25. I'm not above paying $25 for access but that site looks like and the lookup process is obviously just a show.

The best one is probably truepeoplesearch.com which is free and seems to be reasonably accurate. It's full of ads but gives address, phone numbers, email, past addresses and possible relatives when available. It listed a bunch of names I never heard of as "possible associates" for me so I wouldn't trust all of it. Of course, if you want court records, you will have to pay for that.

Yep I responded to the other poalr about that site. TONs of info for free on there and leagues ahead of other sites I've found. I've already found people I haven't talked to in years that moved away.

Very easy to double check the info using property tax records which are open to the public.
