How would I find someones last name in Chicago?.I know the first name and age...?

My brother met a young lady a couple of years ago and really needs to get in contact with her. The problem is he doesn't know her last name and she moved from her last known address. I know she still lives in Chicago but I keep running into dead ends...Please anyone...ideas?

What's her name? Where did they meet? Maybe she still goes there. What did she look like? Where did she work at? Do for a living? Hobbies? If we knew more info maybe someone actually knows her or someone who does. Have you tried going to her old address and asking neighbors? Yeah Chicago is a big city but I'm always amazed at how interconnected we all are. Chances are anyone I meet knows someone I know or someone they know and so on, six degrees of separation! For example, I used to work somewhere that employed over 300 people but I knew most of them at any given time and still run into many of them from time to time.
Reply:There are 3.5 million people in metro Chicago at any given point in time. If you have her last known address, you can try doing a reverse directory search on WhitePages.com to see if the old listing or new listing come up. You could contact the owner of the building and see if she left a forwarding address and s/he would be kind enough to pass along a letter for your brother. Otherwise, there's not much there to work with.
Reply:Go to the public library. Look through the old city directories. Remember that the 2003 directory was compiled from data collected in 2002. City directories have a reverse directory section, where people are listed by address, not by name.





(That is,


100 A Street - John Smith


101 A Street - Tom Jones


104 A Street - Bill Brown





etc.)





If you find her first name at the address, you've got her last name. You probably won't, but if you have an afternoon it is worth a try.
Reply:If he knows her previous address, he should be able to look her up in an older phone book and get her last name that way.
Reply:You should at least have a little information about her, and if you do try these sites:
