Russia is the largest country in the world in terms of area, but only the ninth in terms of population. Therefore, it is not surprising that sometimes in such a vast territory it is very difficult to find a person with whom any contacts have been lost. But difficult doesn't mean impossible.
Instructions
Step 1
Check out social media. The entire globe is enmeshed in a huge web of various social networks, and Russia is no exception. According to statistics, every fourth family in Russia has Internet access at home, and almost every Internet user is registered in one or several social networks. The most popular network of this kind in our country is the VKontakte website. The most popular in the world Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Moi Mir and others lag behind him a little. Chances are good that you can find the person you are looking for by searching these networks, especially if you know the person’s name but don’t know the city. Remember to search for more than just your own last name. The person may have gotten married or married. Women sometimes regain their maiden name. By the way, if you think that your relatives could have moved abroad, then it is better to use international social networks.
Step 2
Refer to the archive of the locality where your lost relatives once lived and may still be living now. There you can find information on where to look for family members now. Plus, you can learn a lot about your family.
Step 3
If you know exactly who you are looking for and in which city the people you need live, try to contact the city forums. It's great if you have a photograph of the person you need - even in cities with a population of millions, as a rule, almost all residents know each other, if not personally, then after a few handshakes.
Step 4
Again, if you know in which city to look for a person, have an idea of the places where he might have been, try to go there yourself. Ask people, post ads, make inquiries. It is quite possible that you will succeed in your plans.
Step 5
Advertise in local newspapers. True, it is desirable that these were not free advertising publications that will place your ad in small print on the last page. But for more serious ads, of course, you have to spend money.
Step 6
Contact the program "Wait for me". This is the first and only people finder service of its kind, completely free. In order to leave a request to search for a person, you must register on the program website and fill out the search form. You will be informed about the results of the work by e-mail or by phone, if you leave it.
