How to Locate an Old High School Classmate OnlineIf you go to your class reunion, you may reconnect with some old friends from school. These don't happen often, however, and there are some people who think these are a waste of time and don't bother to show up. When you want to find an old classmate, you have to think about the quickest and easiest ways to catch up with them. Today, you have the option of connecting with them through the Internet. That works well if you know where to look. Before you search, remember that some people are not online, and they are going to be harder to find. Not everyone thinks the Internet is a good thing, and they avoid it as much as possible. Some have been online for a long time, but they really don't go on much any longer. Those that do may have been careful about personal information, and they may never be found no matter how hard you look. Despite all of that, some are easier to find than you may think. Your first step should be to find classmate matching sites that are going to set you up immediately to be in contact with those that you knew in school. Think of Classmates.com and Reunion.com. Both are excellent in those regards. Add your information and then see what comes up. Don't forget to read through and use the message boards for your school if you still can not find someone. You can also take advantage of the networking sites - both professional and social. Most of them have links through which you can see who else from your school and your graduation class is on that particular site. Once you enter your own information, you are going to find searching much easier and more exact. Search these sites by your classmate's name as well, as some don't include their school information and may not be found through that school network. |
