Question

How can I find a friend when I only have their first name?

Community Answer

That would be almost impossible, so you'll have to come up with some other details about them. Those could include their parents' names, elementary school, city, etc.

Question

How can I find someone with just a photo of them?

Community Answer

Image-related searches are your best bet, but If that photo never existed on the Internet, it's going to be impossible to find what you're looking for.

Question

How do I find a friend and co-worker? We worked in Cincinnati for a senior citizen in-home service organization that no longer exists.

Community Answer

Look them up on Facebook or other social media networks, search for their name on Google, or search the organization's name on LinkedIn. Even if it no longer exists, the person still might have put it on their LinkedIn resume.

Question

How do I find a friend on the internet if all I have is a photo?

Community Answer

Try a reverse image search using tineye.com, Google Images, or another reverse image search website. If you can’t find the photo, try a different site, since different sites may use different ways of finding images.
