You are working as a paralegal for a probate and estate planning law firm. One of the firm’s clients died, and now you have to locate all of the heirs. One is a twenty-eight-year-old nephew, whose last known address is a college dorm, according to the records that you have. This nephew was orphaned at the age of seventeen when his parents died in a car accident, so there are no close relatives to help you find him.

You reach an aunt who tells you that she believes the nephew is in graduate school in Chicago. Using the material on finding people, which websites would you use in your search to locate the missing nephew?

If the free websites do not return any contact infor mation for him, would you use fee-based sites? If so, which ones would you consult?
