How do I find out as much as I can about someone?

Question:

How do I find out as much as I can about someone?

I want to find out about a person - as much details as possible. I have a name, and a place of birth. This person isn't famous. What sites can I use to find out about them?

I am going to assume you are doing genealogy research on this person.

You can get their birth certificate if you are related. From there, you can tell who their parents are, where they are from, and when they were born.

You could hire a private investigation firm if the person is living, they will want to know your motive. Here are some sites.
