Question ID: 716552
I am trying to find an old school teacher that taught me in high
school.  I am limited with my information about him, so I need to search
somewhere other than peoplesearch.com.  I have his name (no middle
name), the year and name of the high school where he taught me, where his parents
lived at that time (city and state only), where he attended college
and his major (years unknown).  Also his approximate age.  I realize
this is not much information, but surely people can be found on the
web somewhere.  I just don't know of any other place to search  than
peoplesearch.com.  Can someone give me some other places to look? 
Oh, he taught me in 1965.....many years ago, so this makes it more
difficult.  I would like to know if he is still alive or not.  I hope
someone can help me.   MeeMaw

Dear meemaw-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. Because
we cannot give information about private individuals by policy I?m
actually glad you didn?t divulge the name, nor could I assist you in
locating him (even if I knew how to).  But since you limited your
question to ?search sources? I can assist you by passing along some
that I have found to be fairly beneficial. In my opinion these all
certainly qualify as notable ?other places to look?:

To find out if the person is deceased you can search the SOCIAL
SECURITY DEATH INDEX. This is a public database of persons on the
Social Security roles who are known to have died:

SOCIAL SECURITY DEATH INDEX
http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/
(use the search fields at the bottom of the page because the field
where it says ?Search Ancestry? will get you nowhere.)

You can search telephone directories all across the United States in
one single public database by using SWITCHBOARD.COM
http://www.switchboard.com

Similar to ?People Search? is VEROMI.NET . While the free public
portion of this database has limited information it shows quite a bit
more details that most other databases. If you know the names of the
man?s relatives, for example, the search results often show the names
of spouses, children, etc which might help you narrow down your
search.

I hope you find that my answer exceeds your expectations. If you have
any questions about my research please post a clarification request
prior to rating the answer. Otherwise I welcome your rating and your
final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the
near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

A couple of free suggestions:
Contact the high school;
Contact the alumni association of his college.  You won't be able to
access the alumni site of the college's website, but you can find a
contact address.
Contact the teachers' union for the area.  I looked at the website 
for the one in Philadelphia, and it had a pensioners page (if he is
still not teaching).
If his name is not too common, telephone book websites could help.

Good luck.
