Question Asked: What’s The Best Way To Track Down An Old Classmate?
|
Oct 30th, 2008 |
Many people rely on Classmates.com, where their primary business model is reconnecting old classmates with each other.
My gripe with that website is that you can’t actually communicate with your classmates (once you’ve found them), without “upgrading” to some ridiculously overpriced “premium membership” plan.
If it’s really important to you, you could pay the money, and use their service.
You’ve got other options, though. Depending on the year you graduated high school, you may have better luck looking for your classmates on Facebook. While it’s certainly geared towards younger people (and current college students), you can still have pretty good luck finding some of your old classmates on there. I was in the class of 1997, and quite a few people I went to high school with are on the site, and more are joining every day.
What many people don’t know, is that you can head back to your high school, too. High schools tend to keep a “last known address” around for most of their students, so they can invite them to school sponsored reunions. They may be willing to tell you where you can find that old classmate you’ve been searching high and low for.
As a last resort, you can try a simple Google search for a person. Many people grew up to have businesses of their own, or gotten arrested and are on police arrest log webpages. If they’re on the internet, Google will help you find them, most likely. Keep in mind, that women often get married, and their last names change, so it may prove tougher to find that head cheerleader to tell her “I told you so!” now that you own your own billion dollar company.

I LOVE the juxtaposition of “have businesses of their own” and “been arrested” as the two places former classmates might end up.
On topic though, I agree that Facebook is a great way to find old classmates. I’ve reconnected with people I was in elementary school with!
