I am looking for a cousin who was given to HRS (now called DCF) back when i was 11 years old. I am now 38. I would really like to find her and reunite with her. I dont have the money to go through expensive search sites so im looking for a free way. I did find a address listed under her name with a phone number but it was disconnected. Any ideas?

Best free site to find people online is http://www.zabasearch.com/. If you can't find them on there, then you'll have to pay. That's the best site that has free info.
A fairly inexpensive site is http://www.ussearch.com/. You can do a preliminary search on there, narrow it down by state and age, and it may show you (before you pay) cities and states where the person is found. If you want to find the address for someone they list, it's about $10.

If her name is rare and you know something about her, you can sometimes find people via Google. Use all four forms of the name if she has a nickname, and use quotation marks:
"Elizabeth Bennet"
"Bennet, Elizabeth"
"Eliza Bennet"
"Bennet, Eliza"
You could send a letter to the old address and hope the PO forwarded it. You could send letters to "Occupant" at the houses on each side and across the street from her old address, asking if they knew where she went.
(Use MapQuest. If she lived at 112 Elm Street, try 118 Elm Street. If it says the address isn't valid, try 116 and 120. Repeat with 106 and 113.)

There is no free way that I know of.I think ancestor.com charges about $30 for 3 months(I think). The others charge about the same.
Ancestor.com does have a limited grace period where they tell you what you already knew and you don't have to pay for it . Now isn't that a nice deal?They check Social Security, U.S.censuses so you may have better luck than I did. Good luck.
