First, the most obvious places to check are the major reunion classes and interfaces. Check out Classmates.com and Reunion.com first. You'll find a decent portion of people from their secondary school listed on this site, especially Classmates.com, because they've been around the longest and most advertising. Unfortunately, if you find someone in one of these sites, you will have to pay for the membership to contact them. Web sites must pay the bills somehow, and it is a catch.

Now, let's search the internet for that person. I recommend trying Google first, then Yahoo, MSN as well as technically has the largest database of indexed pages and freshest index, as well.
Search Tips
Search for the name of the person first, with quotations:
"Alex Jones"
If a person has a unique name, your results will be lower, but if they have a common name, you will need to narrow the search considerably. Try searching with a middle initial or full middle name. You can also add the initials of the state or country, like this:
"Alexandra Alicia Jones"
"Alex Jones"
"Alexandra Jones, " FL
"Alexandra Jones, Florida
Perhaps he was an artist or writer? Adding the word "art" or "author" search. You'll be surprised at how much this narrows the search. The same, if the person is a mechanic, engineer or interior designer. Adding these words or variations of these words to improve search results. Many professions and businesses have Web sites where they can specify the names of employees. If you know the person is a dentist, try searching online dental directories, it is likely that these so that new patients can find them.
