How to find relatives?

In connection with the fact that in the post-war period, so many children, and in general, the inhabitants of the country were taken out of their homeland, many of us lost significant branches of their genealogical tree, which I would like to return. Yes, and a banal move with the subsequent loss of contacts and addresses is able to separate relatives and leave them unconnected. Sometimes it begins to seem that it is already impossible to find native people. And independent searches lead to nothing. What to do?

Thanks to modern technology, finding a person has become much easier. If earlier the search of people was conducted with the help of various trips to different cities, now you can simply use the system of searching for a person by his name and surname directly on the Internet.

Let's take a closer look. How to find relatives, if the only thing you know is the name, surname and patronymic of the person? You can, of course, go to the places of their possible residence, but this can be an impossible task, because both the fare and unreliable data can make your trip a senseless waste of time and money.

With accurate data, you can search for a person at the address, say, writing a letter, but, again, there is a risk of his absence at this address, as people tend to move.

Already today, finding a person by name and surname is much easier than you think. Any search engine on the Internet will give you a huge amount of links to sites with a large database of registered citizens of the country where you can find the person you need and contact him using contact information. It can be both a valid address and a phone number.

How to find relatives if databases of similar sites did not help you? Then there is another possibility, which can also be used - these are various television programs that search for lost relatives by volunteers. This is also the program "Wait for me". Its official website you can find in the Internet search engine. In the same place, having passed necessary registration, you can leave the request for the help in search of the person which in the coming days will consider. The only disadvantage of such searches is the lack of data about the search process, as there is no guarantee that someone undertook to fulfill your request.

How to find relatives if they are supposed to live near you? You can use the phone book, find the person's name and call all the numbers found. Or just choose a day and go to that area. Do not forget about the proverb: "Language will finish before Kiev," ask passers-by or contact the appropriate authorities where there are lists of tenants. Employees are sure to help you find the right person.

If you do not have time for such "walks", then you can post ads on the boards provided for in such a case, indicate your contact details and wait for a response. But this option is also somewhat dangerous because it's not a relative who can respond to your ad, but a swindler whose goals towards you will be illegal.

How to find relatives if all of the above did not help? Then, perhaps, it remains to hope for ads in magazines and newspapers, many of which now have their own websites. Some print ads for free, some ask for payment for their services. You decide. But it is worth remembering that correspondence is a very common way of transferring information, so even if your relative does not see and read your announcement, his friends and relatives can do it. Or even just neighbors. Therefore, you should not miss this opportunity, neglecting it. Remember, there is one who seeks!
