Step 1
Enter the desired surname in all Internet search engines known to you. For example, Google.com and Yandex.ru often give different results for the same query. Use writing not only in Cyrillic, but also in Latin. If your friend moved to live abroad, then his surname now looks different.

Log in to your Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki accounts to search there for the desired surname. If you are not a user of them, you will either have to register or ask someone you know about the service who uses these networks.

In addition to your name, add your year of birth and intended place of residence to your search query. In this case, you will have to view less unnecessary information.
