People searching, address & telephone directories

I have a young cousin who lives in Spandau Berlin. At Christmas she emailed me but I lost the email address due to a computer crash. Is there a German website that I can go to, like a directory, that may help me locate her? Before you ask, no I don't have her address only a rough idea of the area she lives in.

Have you tried googling her name, both the .com and .de engines?

I found an old mate of mine that way. But only cos he joined a gym and they randomly had some of his details on the site.

Is there something like Friends Reunited in Germany? If so perhaps you can find her on there and make contact through the site.

Assuming for a moment that you're not a stalker (we've had a few on this forum) you can try Das Telefonbuch. Surprised you weren't able to find that yourself.

If she is the same age as you and presumably American then I'm guessing she is au-pairing or at Uni here. If she's at uni then of course you should check the website of the uni. If she's au-pairing then its going to be a little difficult. I think we need a bit more info - is she American and visiting Germany or is she German for example. If she's German then the chances may be better than a visiting American probably.

She's German (lives on Stendal) and has never been to America before.

Here is the local phone book for Stendal.

And info about firms in Stendal.

How about putting "Desperately seeking Susan" style add in one of the national/regional papers?

If you're really bent on finding this person, I'm assuming you'd be willing to pay for help finding her.

Here's the number of a private detective agency in Stendal.

Hi

I am trying to locate the where abouts of my brother in law's older brother who we know lives in Berlin. My sister in law is trying to do this without her husband knowing as it is their 25th wedding anniversary soon and if possible she would like to make contact before then.

I have tried searching various sites on the internet but can not locate an appropriate one, If anyone can make any suggestions on how to find someone in Berlin i would be very grateful.

Kind Regards
Sharon

I have access to a number of person-search databases. If you can give me as much information on the person as possible (names, known addresses now or previously, phone numbers, etc., preferably by PM, as this information is better not for public viewing) I'll see what I can do. No promises, of course.

I am Cuban that used to live in Erfrurt Germany for 16 years but have been living in the US for the past 6 years. I'm trying to find a way to locate some old friends of mine that lived in Erfurt when I was there. Does anybody know how to do look for someone? a chat online? a company that finds people? A number to call? Thank you! Orlando

Hi choco-man!

That sounds very interesting. Were you there as part of an exchange when the wall fell? That would be a good story to hear, I bet.

As banal as it might appear, you could start with the online phone book telefonbuch.de.

I am amazed how easy it is to find people that way. Works if you have the phone number but no name, as well.

You could also do a blog search in technorati to see if there are any bloggers based there, and just leave a query in their blog comments. You never know.

I've also found a handful of old school mates simply by typing a full name in quotes into google. Good luck!

Hi,
my name is Orlando and I am looking for my friend that lived in Oberhof. His name is Thomas, he distributed cuban alcohol to restaurants. Does anybody know how to locate friends or a chat for Oberhof residents? Thanks you

I would do a search for the spanish speaking ex-pats group if I was you. I will look around to see if I can dig up there name I use to know it.

Oberhof as in the one in Thüringen? It's not a very big town- surely the locals would know where to find him. You might also want to give a few of the restaurants a call. They probably have his name (if he still lives/works there).

As for your Cuban friends- Another idea might be to sign up on Antenne Thüringen chat. It's for all of Thüringen, but you might be able to find people from Oberhof to ask them about this guy. Contact universities or colleges- in that particular area of Germany, foreigners tend to have some connection to such institutions. I'd imagine the Cuban community in the region is fairly close-knit, so if you can get the names of a few Cubans, you might be able to track them down. When I used to live in the area, they had ethic festivals, dance clubs, etc... and the Cubans were also represented-- surely there must be a Carneval Verein, Tanzverein, etc. where you can find Cubans. Also, being the good DDR citizens they once were, many people in the area have an interest in Cuba and its people, so your Cuban friends might be quite popular in the area-- wouldn't hurt asking the local PDS party members. (No, I'm not joking)

Hello everyone the chocolateman of many flavors is back. I have not been able to reply until now and I'm still learning how to use this program. To respond, I did go to Germany from Cuba as part of a study/work exchange program. I was also there and clearly remember when the Berlin Wall fell.

I am very grateful for your responses and suggestions on where to find my friends. I have tried looking them up on the telephone but no luck. I also went into the chat but since I don't write in German, it's hard for me to understand so that doesn't work for me. I did remember something about my friend from Oberhof, his name is Thomas Croke and he worked at a bartender at the Panorama Hotel in Oberhof. Do you think I can call the hotel and see if they can communicate me to him? Thank you! Orlando

Hello,
I've tried several ways to get in contact with my friends in Germany but failed and I'm trying again. My name is Orlando, I'm Cuban and lived in Germany for 18 years. I've been living in San Francisco for the past 6 years and I haven't been able to contact my friends in Erfurt or Oberhoff. If anyone has a new suggestions I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Chocolateman
