Reconnect
A person you lost touch with — a friend from school, a cousin, the family that moved off your street — anchors to places: the street, the school, the graduating class. This hub is built around that fact. It covers the free route first: search engines done properly, the weak-link method through one shared contact, and the public indexes that confirm a person is alive before you spend anything. When those run out, it covers the people-search services, which one to buy for a single honest search, and how the reports are actually assembled.
