well, here are some places you can try!.
I often use www!.zabasearch!.com!.!. but those might be out of date!. Another thing I use is google!.!. but you need to put the name in quotation marks to insure that it picks up the exact phrase!. It's most helpful if the name isn't too common!.!. it will find exact "John Smith" but will NOT do find "John L Smith" so try both ways!. Add a state name if you have an idea of that!. Usually, a live person will NOT BE IN genealogy files, since we normally respect privacy of living persons!.
You also can run searches for her children's names, if they are likely to know her whereabouts!. I had to go that route today!.!. trying to find a contact for a friend who lives in a town that just got slammed by a tornado!.
