Genealogy is not a free hobby. First of all get as much information from family as possible, particularly from your seniors. Tape them if they will let you. They might have some confusion on some matters but a lot of story telling which you might not think too important might turn out to be very important. Go to your public library and find out what all they have. They might have a subscription to Ancestry.Com you can utilize. Ancestry.Com has lots of records and is getting more all the time. They have all the censuses through 1930. The 1940 is not available to the public yet. Now, information in family trees that have been submitted to websites must be viewed with caution. Most of the information is not documented. You often will see different information on the same person. However, sometimes you will see repeatedly the same information on the same person without documentation from different submitters. All too often that is because a lot of copying is being done. There are errors in trees on the internet, free and paid. People are too anxious to feel in blanks on a family chart or to add people to their data base, that they are not verifying. Use the information as clues as to where to write to get documentation. Call your nearest Latter Day Saints(Mormon) Church and find out if they have a Family History Center. If so find out the hours they are open to the general public. They have records on people all over the world, not just Mormons. Their temple in Salt Lake City has the largest collecton of genealogical information in the world. The Famiy History Centers can order microfilm for you to view. They don't bring up religion and I have never had them to send their missionaries by to ring my doorbell. While at the library and the Family History Center, you will probably have an opportunity to talk with people who can give you some great advice. Don't rely solely on websites. Good Luck!

If they're findable, you can find them by being persistant.

If you're looking for people you knew in school, start by contacting other people in your circle who might still be in contact. Also, many schools now have alumni message boards where people will jump in to help you locate an old friend.

If you're looking for someone in another country, there are a lot of people finder message boards that are free. Once you've added your "looking for" message, it begins to show up on the search engines and, if the person looks up their name, your message shows up.

Alright buddy, I can't contact you, so this is how I'll do it. Wicca is not a cult you idiot, we don't even believe in a devil, so how can we worship it? Get the facts straight before you say something like that.
