FIND an OWNER by NAME
Whitepages Search:
Now that evacuees are returning home, that is the first place you should try. There are many resources that serve this purpose. I recommend:
www.whitepages.com/
Also there are the following:
http://www.switchboard.com/
http://www.anywho.com/
http://www.whowhere.com/
http://www.infospace.com/
and many more...
Google:
You might also search the name on
www.google.com/ to see if you get any hits which might provide clues as to where they work. That would provide an alternate way to contact them.
Classmates:
Try searching www.classmates.com/, as many people at one time or another have signed up with them, so you might have an opportunity to contact the person through there. (Note: Classmates does charge for their "gold" access to be able to send an email so you must find someone with an account to send the email for you)
KatrinaList:
www.katrinalist.net is a compilation of all the website sources which popped up after Katrina listing who was okay and who was missing. You might find the person you are looking for on this list, also you might find someone who was also looking for the person you are looking for and their contact information so that you can give them a call to find out what they know as of now. This will list a person as found or not, but keep in mind that is only if they have checked in somewhere that has made it to the list, which is unlikely in most situations. Look for contact info here.
Red Cross:
http://www.katrinasafe.com/Main.aspx
Locate an evacuee and find out their status.
http://www.familylinks.icrc.org/katrina/people
Use this list as a backup and make sure there is no new information here that isn't on katrinalist.
NOLA.com Missing Persons
This is the Times-Picayune website's database and message board. Search both of these to see if the person you are looking for has been found or to see if anyone else might possibly be looking for them and if they have any information.
