1. Contact your
class representative. Click the Class
Reps link
then find the class representative for your graduation year.
2. Leave a message for
your classmate on the Alumni Message Board.
3. Contact other classmates and network.
4. Contact the parents of your classmate.
Parents often continue to reside in or around Jenkintown. Also try
parents of other classmates that may still be in contact with the
classmate's parents and network through them to the classmate.
5. Contact brothers or sisters of the classmate.
The Alumni Association can sometimes help in this area.
We recently located a sister who had graduated
2 years before the classmate being sought. The sister was able
to provide the current address and phone number of her brother.
6. Use the Internet (see details below).
7. After you locate your classmate,
make sure you and your classmate register on this website.
You are invited to submit additions to this
list of suggestions and also e-mail your stories of finding classmates
to Peter Berlinger.
How To Locate A
Classmate using the Internet
This
is an example of how we found a missing classmate from the Class
of 1963.
We knew his first and last name and also his middle name but the middle name
is not necessary. We knew his wife's first name was Sheran and that he last
working in Wisconsin or Minnesota. We knew he was 57.
PART 1
| 1. |
Go to the
following site: www2.1800ussearch.com/search/start.cgi?adID=9999990000 |
| 2. |
Type in
your classmate's name and age. The age is very important
since it will really narrow down your search. It also will help if you
know their middle name. Hit "search". |
| 3. |
You will
get a list of people all over the United States with your classmate's
name. |
| 4. |
We came
up with 14 but only 2 were 57 years old. One lived in Saint Paul, Minnesota
and the other in Silver Spring, Maryland. We decided to try the one in
Saint Paul first. Important: do not go any further on this sight
or you will be charged a fee. We want to you to be able
to do this for free. |
PART 2
| 5. |
Next go
to www.switchboard.com. |
| 6. |
We typed
in the classmate's name in and typed in the location of Saint Paul, MN.
We clicked on "search" and came back with 2 people with
our classmate's name. We then took one of them and entered the phone
number in the "search by phone #" option tab in the
left margin on www.swithboard.com. We hit "search " and
up popped someone with our classmate's name. Listed at the same number
was his wife by the name of Sheran. Bingo we hit pay dirt. |
| 7. |
We also
did a search under the government employee web site listed in www.google.com.
He was an attorney for the government. He had retired so he was no longer
listed at that site. |
If you have other method or suggestions please send them to Peter Berlinger and
we will communicate them. Good Hunting!!!
