Returning a item lost by someone can be very difficult at times. Please be aware not all living relatives might want to hear about a lost family member. Also there are a lot of scams going around so do think everyone is going top be receptive to your calls. That being said here are some place to try and find a lost persons relatives.
I start with
https://www.whitepages.comThis is a pay to view site.
https://www.findagrave.com more information you have is better
I try and find a town they are from on white pages i look up the name and see if anyone is related and call them. Not everyone will be NICE LOL
https://aad.archives.gov/aad/fielded-search.jsp?dt=893 If i have a veterans serial number.
If I know there deceased i check find a grave first. If i find them on find a grave i check what cemetery they are buried in , Call the cemetery and ask them if they have any helpful information. Then i call the news paper of that town and try to get them to do a death search for me . I also call the public library and see if they can check there archives on film for me. I always tell them why i am looking and they all seem to want to help more for that reason.
Other places to call if assumed deceased
There county morgue, Medical examiner office
These tips will find about 70 % of the time
If you have any more places or ideas please post them !!! I think this should also be a chapter thread
