Key Elements For Planning Your Strategy

Gather and organize your  information

Write down everything you know about your subject. No detail is too small.  This will be your starting point in planning your strategy. 

Include relatives, friends, places and dates.  Make a note of any affiliations such as military and any places you think your subject might have been employed by.

 Most libraries keep several years of past directories on hand and will contact or help you contact reference librarians in whatever location you may have tracked a subject to. 

Also online phone directories can be helpful.

You may choose to call each person in an area with the same last name as your subject in case you turn up a relative who will give you information. 

You may find that relatives are not as likely to give this information to you if they feel you are a threat in any way.
