I recently went to ZabaSearch.com and looked for free information available about myself. I supplied my first and last names and my state of residence. Within two or three seconds, ZabaSearch.com provided basic information about several people with the same names as my own who also live in this state. There was a wide variety of middle initials, however. Some of the listings did show date of birth but many did not. One of the records was for me but I suspect that most other people would have a hard time determining which record was mine.

WhoWhere.com is a service of Lycos. I was rather unimpressed with this service. It did find me (and many others with the same name) but offered little information free of charge. The site’s advertising really pushes its extra-cost services. It is worth a try at http://www.whowhere.com.

USA People Search looks a lot like Yahoo People Search although the search results returned rather different information. This web site found me but displayed several incorrect “facts,” even claiming that I was related to someone I have never heard of.
