Even when you’re separated by time and distance, nothing is quite as strong as family. That’s what makes reconnecting with relatives such an emotional journey: these people are connected to you by blood.

Everybody knows at least one family member who fell through the cracks. Maybe they’re an estranged uncle, a distant cousin, or a half-sibling from a parent’s divorce. Maybe you were adopted and know nothing about your birth parents beyond their names.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could track down your possible relatives, find their contact information, and reach out — all from the comfort of your own home?

Fortunately, TruthFinder can help. This online tool can unearth information even Google can’t find, including phone numbers, email addresses, location history, and other possible relatives. All you have to do is enter your relative’s name to get started.

Find Your Family Members

Chances are, if you’ve lost contact with your relative (or you’ve never met them), you don’t have a ton of info you can use to track them down.

You might have scraps of information gathered from family gossip over the years: a name, an old town, an ancient phone number. TruthFinder is the ultimate sleuthing weapon to help you fill in the blanks. Here’s how it works:

1. Type your relative’s name on TruthFinder and click “search.”
2. The website’s powerful database crawls through millions of data points to compile a background report.
3. Select the correct report and scroll to view their contact information. It’s that simple.

Not sure if you’ve found the right report? When you sign up for a TruthFinder membership, you have access to unlimited searches, so you can look up as many reports as you want.

Alternatively, you can type your own name and look at the “Possible Relatives” section of your report. Your information may be associated with your long-lost family member — all you have to do is click their name to view their background information.

Uncover Information About Almost Anyone

You might not be ready to contact your estranged relative right away, and that’s okay. TruthFinder gives you plenty of options to reach out to people on your family tree.

When you pull a background report, you could discover the following information:

Addresses

Discover where your family members live now, where they’ve lived in the past, and how much time they spent at specific locations.

Contact Information

When available, TruthFinder reports provide associated email addresses and phone numbers, including carrier information and line type. If you’re not ready to call them on the phone, try an email.

Aliases

Maybe they changed their name, either by marriage or to further distance themselves from the family. You may be able to discover their new identity.

Jobs And Education

What have they been up to all these years? If you aren’t ready to contact your family member, you can at least get a sense of where their life has taken them.

Social Media

It can be tough to find the right profile on social media, but a TruthFinder report makes it easy. When available, background reports include associated social media profiles on major networks, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and even your relative’s Amazon wish list.

Criminal & Traffic Records

There might be a reason your family has chosen to distance themselves from your relative. If they have a series of criminal & traffic records, you may be able to view their offenses, from traffic violations to serious felonies.

When it comes to finding information about your family members, you don’t have to stay in the dark. Use TruthFinder to get reacquainted with relatives you thought were long-gone. You never know what you might find! To get started, just click here and enter anyone’s name.
