    1. [G] A family location lookup website

    3. Are you searching for all living instances of your surname in the world? Are you looking for everyone in your postal/zip code? Do you want to plow through over 2 million family names and over 240 million living individuals? Especially if they live in: Canada, Bogota Columbia, New Delhi India, Macedonia, Romania, United Kingdom or the USA? Then I have just the search website for you. Not sure if it has been mentioned previously: http://www.locatefamily.com/ It is a bit uncanny. I was able to locate myself quickly by postal code, including my phone number, and also for everyone on my block. This was the Street search. If you do the Surname search, you also get (once you find it) your relative or yourself, full address, phone number, and map link. It gets downright scary, just how much information is out there. This seems to be better than the usual 411.com or the whitepages.com or similar searches. Cannot spot any advertising, no need for login, nor do you get only partial information. So, this is how the private dicks can locate your wayward spouse. The website states that there are 21 million people in 27 countries starting with "B" in the surname. Also, 11,634 names and 762,810 people starting with "Ben". So I must have 10,000+ Benedict's lurking somewhere in the lists. It is going to be a long, long night.

    3. Useful, be aware if trying to contacting anyone (or using presence on the site to assign death to another) - they're not all living, I'm in touch with a 2nd cousin in America, and he let me know when his sister-in-law died, in 2007. She's listed on the site.
