How to Search
GoFindr offers three main types of searches, depending on the information you already have. These searches are designed to help you quickly find people, identify residents at an address, or trace who may be linked to a phone number or email address.
Below, we explain how to use each search type effectively and how to navigate through the results to unlock more detailed information. This can include details such as dates of birth, contact information, birth, marriage and death records, other residents at an address, linked relatives, and location maps to help you better understand the connections between individuals and addresses.
By following the steps below, you can choose the most suitable search method and get the most accurate results from your search.
People Search – Find Someone by Name
Use this when you know the person’s name and location.
What to enter
- Full name, recommended
- Town or city
- Age, age range or year of birth, optional but helps narrow results
