Online dating can be scary. People lie about their age, frequently change
their profiles and sometimes have a different profile for each dating site.
But what if you could background someone even before your first date? Even
before you know their real name?
With Google Advanced Search, now you can. Their search within a website feature
can reveal prior changes to profiles, whether the person is on several sites at
once and sometimes even what social events they've attended. You may also learn
if they’ve recently moved or
are involved in things they never disclosed to you.
Step By Step Approach
See Finding Friends, Associates & Hidden Relationships
See Is The Guy Your Dating Really Married? (Christian-SOS)
The Books A Date Really Reads or Wants to Read
This link to Amazon tracks their members' wish list for desired books.
Enter in a person's name. Too many hits? Then add a state.
Friends & Associates/Hidden Relationships
(Using Google, Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn and Classmates)
Find out who knows who by using the friend/associate features found on Facebook, Myspace and LinkedIn. These allows you to look up your subject and in certain cases, to see who their friends and associates are. (Sometimes a profile will also reveal what someone was doing that day, i.e. playing tennis, in the hospital, out of town, etc.)
Then do a Combined Google search using the names of the two people who might know each other.
Proving That John knew Sam can make or break a lawsuit. Such can show a person’s obvious bias and also lead to more witnesses and more evidence at trial or deposition.
Practical Applications
How To Find Who Knows Who
Googling
Still can’t find a connection?
Put both names in Google, with and without quotes. This could show they belonged to the same fraternity, chess club, etc.
Examples:
John Bernake sandra bullock
Or
"John Bernake" "sandra bullock"
Or (For rare first names)
"John Bernake" menda
Proving Relationships Through Other Means
Do they have an corporation? Find out who the officers and agents are. Then repeat the steps above.
See also Corporate Lookups. Is the
witness related to one of the employees?
See also Age Lookups (often list relatives)
See also Neighbor Lookup
See also Classmates Lookup (did they attend the same school?)

Find Out If Different Websites Are Really From The Same Person or Business.
Are two porn websites in cahoots with one another? Want to prove website A
is really a front for business B? Or that a server should be shut down because
it knowingly hosts malicious websites?
Here's How:
1. Look up who owns each site through a
Whosis Lookup or
Web address lookup
2. Once you discover owners, officers or agents, repeat steps found in Finding Friends, Associates & Relationships and Proving Relationships Through Other Means.
But What If This information is Kept Private or I
Still Can't Find A Connection?
Websites that have
private domain information pay extra to conceal their owners and agents. If the
address of the host server is listed, read their policy on private
registrations. This will tell you what is required to force disclosure. Usually
you will not be able to see "private" information without a court order or
subpoena. But you never know.

Business Affiliations)
BY FIRST NAME OR PARTIAL LAST NAME
With a first name, you can find their last name much easier than you think.
In fact, you've probably talked to the person and know other important things
that can lead to their surname.
Key is using Google and Special Search Directories
to plug in their first name along with other information, such as their first
name and partial work address, first name and partial home address, first name
and company, first name and profession, first name and school or their first name and city or state.
For people with rare first names, you can also search by first name and their
hobbies.
Using Google or Yahoo To Find Their Full Name With Just A First Name
For Example: Say you meet "Renata" in the office building elevator. You have
no clue about her last name or even the company she works for. But you keep
seeing her in the office elevator so you know she works in your building. To
find Renata's last name, just Google her partial work address.
Renata "1 glenlake parkway"
Even with a bunch of Renatas, it's easy to find the right one. Just put their
full names in Facebook or Linkedin for a photo or other confirming information.
Then go to Finding
People On The Internet (Consumer-SOS).
Search For Rare Names by Putting In Extra Terms.
Even without an address, you can use other information to search by first name on Google or Yahoo. But the name better be rare and you'll need to put in extra terms to narrow it down. For example: for that bilingual former classmate of yours enter: Minelva Spanish Georgia
For the musician you met at the bookstore try: Mehgan ukulele Texas. Add or remove terms to reduce or increase hits. Extra terms could include a city, state, (don't abbreviate) their occupation, the name of a child, or another hobby. To narrow down your leads, See Listing What You Know About The Person.
Finally, if you haven't got their phone # or address by now, try the Internet Phone Books.

Using Special Directories To Find Their Full
Name With Just A First Name or Partial Last Name (See
How I Found 2 Colleagues)
In addition to the general search engines such as Google or Yahoo, try the special directories where you can search with just a first name or partial last name.
For example, you can search the Age Directories by first name only, or by first name and their city and state. Got a lot of hits? Then, eliminate the leads too young or too old to be your subject. And many of these directories also allow name lookup with just a few letters of their last name.
Ask yourself, is the person a Doctor, Lawyer, CPA or Patent Attorney? Do they belong to a Professional Licensing Board or association or club that lists members? Did they attend High School or College with you (where you'd have access to their Alumni Directory)? If they went to a different school, do you know where and when? For More Help, see Listing What You Know About The Person.
If the answer is yes, search for them through the Social Networking Sites, State Bar Directories, Professional Licenses and Certifications, Alumni Directories and professional associations they may belong to.
If they've lived in a small town, search by first name in the Local Newspapers. Don't forget to narrow your hits with other search terms if you get too many.
For schools and colleges, search Classmates.com by their first name, and then narrow your leads by school and graduation year. And once you have their full name, weed out obvious false leads based on their age or photo. This can be done by plugging their full names into the Age and Social Networking Sites.
Finally, if you haven't got their phone # or address by now, try the Internet Phone Books

EXAMPLES OF HOW
I FOUND 2 COWORKERS, ONE BY FIRST NAME AND ONE
BY PARTIAL LAST NAME
My Former coworker "Kendall" was an attorney from Atlanta and about
35. But what was his last name?
To find out, I simply went to the State Bar Directory and searched for him by
first name only.
Of the ten results, I could immediately weed out 6. Some of the these included
women, attorneys practicing out of state, or obvious old timers admitted to
practice when Kendall was in diapers. So that left just 4 names.
To find the right Kendal, I simply put all 4 of the full names into Linkedin.
And out popped his photo, employment history and address. And if that didn't
work, I would have looked for his photo in other social networks such as
Facebook, or Myspace. Even without a photo, I probably could have found him
just by Googling these 4 names, or I could have confirmed their ages through the
Age Look Up Directories.
I also wanted to find another coworker named "John" but knew only that his last name began with "GA" and that he was a New Jersey Patent Attorney. Fortunately, patent attorneys are much rarer than other attorneys, the same way that CPAs are much rarer than other accountants.
To find his last name, I simply looked him up in the national directory of patent attorneys. To find that his last name was "Gabos" I selected "New Jersey" and typed in John and a partial last name of "GA". That was all it took.
