im looking for someone

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Depends on the kind of record you are looking for.
There is a whole category of information available on the web that DOES NOT TURN UP in search engine searches (such as "Google"). For this reason it is sometimes referred to as "the invisible web" http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/teachinglib/... I believe this is the type of information that you may be looking for.
Is it real property records that you are seeking? Some counties and states have made property & property tax records available free online. Court case data? Some states have also made date about civil and criminal court cases available online and some of it is available free. Are you looking for the currently imprisoned? Or looking for marriage or divorce records? Again, some states have made this info available free online. Is the person dead? Social Security Death Index http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-b... is free, online, and includes dates of birth, death, SSN and state it was originally obtained in, and county of last residence. If it's genealogical information that you seek, http://www.familysearch.org/ is a good, free place to start. Also, Cyndi's List has been around for a long time and is still going strong. http://www.cyndislist.com/ has hundreds of links to genealogical information.

I am assuming that you are already aware of common databases such as phone books, online directories, city directories, usually available in libraries and valuable for determining such things as employer, whether the resident owned the house or was a tenant, etc. Many libraries keep an archive of them for their community.

As you may already have discovered, there are also other sources that are not free and require registration, subscription, or are fee-based. I am not prepared to recommend any of them since what you seek may be obtainable free.

If you could be more specific about what type of information you are seeking and about the state or locality that is involved I'd be glad to point you to more specific links that I think might help.
