You can often times track from there. Did you try "Whitepages.com" to see if there is actually a telephone listing? Sometimes the local library in the town you are searching in has city directories, phone books, etc. If it is a small town, sometimes calling town hall can get you a lead. (Tax records are public).
Let me know if you need anymore help. Good luck!

It has always been my understanding that any genealogical site will not post information about a living person. It is far easier to find information on the dead than the living. As far as using Ancestry.com, but not having a subscription, the public library should have a basic subscription that can be accessed from home using your library card. The reference librarian can be an invaluable resource.

I would Ike to offer to check Facebook for her name for you, if you want to PM me her info. Good luck dear. I would also try searching sites that you find by going to Dogpile and entering " lost family members". Others on here who have social media accounts might be willing to do the same. Good luck dear.

I have found so many people through FAcebook. Missing children have been found through FAcebook. It isn't hard and it's free to join. If you relatives on Facebook as for their help also. Looks like you already have quite a bit. Good luck in your find and I hope you are warmly welcomed in your search.
