4) Sorting Through the Information
5) Knowing Where to Go Next
We will focus on and identify two key goals to finding someone in Mexico. You will be ready to find the person you are looking for when you complete these two goals.
Who is this person you are trying to find? Could they be a relative or a parent? Possibly a friend or maybe someone they met on vacation? You may be looking for this person because you want to learn about your Mexico family history or maybe because you are into family genealogy. You may be searching for medical reasons. We are hearing more and more how our relatives can affect us physically, how our genetics affect us. Many people now want to know all about their family's health history so they will know what diseases or medical problems are more likely to occur as they get older or so that they can provide this family history to their physician. Family medical history is rapidly becoming an important reason for people wanting to learn about their relatives.
Most people looking for someone in another country or looking for someone in their family think about genealogy first. Genealogy is the study of our family heritage and where we come from. But here is the catch; most of the time genealogy deals with people who are deceased such as our great grandparents or people who came to the country hundreds of years ago.
Here is a quick example. Let's say someone wants to do genealogy research on their Mexican Family History, but they do not know who their father, uncle, or current relatives are. Many people have to first start with their living relatives before they can discover more about their family history.
If someone has been looking at genealogy sites, they are probably looking in the wrong place. Genealogy sites are there mainly with information to help users find people who are deceased. The majority of genealogy societies worldwide prohibit placing personal information online until that person has been deceased at least 71 years for reasons of privacy. If someone is trying to find a person who is living, then genealogy sites might help but only if they know who their great-great-grandparents were. Then the person has to work forward from there.
In most cases, this is not what people are looking for. What they want to do is find someone who is alive today and living in Mexico. They want or need to find their living relative. They may want to find a friend. This is the point where people want and need help finding someone living in Mexico.
The next five articles will help you get to that door and provide you with the guidance you need so you can find the person that you are looking for.

The best and easiest way, is to use a private investigator in Mexico, unless you live in Mexico it would be too hard to try to do anything from outside country.I used a company called Mexico Intelligence Services to find a retired friend now living in Mexico, it only took them a week what it would have taking me months to do from the United States.Here's their site MexicoIntell*comGood Luck,JasonI would be very suspicious of using this company. They have a U.S. phone number listed on their website. The number belongs to some gentleman with a heavy accent who assured us we were not calling the investigation company. If a company can't put their correct phone number on their website, you have to ask yourself how efficient can they be doing something as complicated as investigative work in another country. These matters require attention to detail. Everyone has to make their own decision whether or not to contact this company, but having a non-working phone number doesn't give me any sense of assurance.
no I hace been trying to find the phone # or email adress of someone living in mexico city and nothing helps!!!!Hi Margarita,Here is the short response to your comments. For people who want to find family in Mexico or a friend, getting an email address is very difficult. It's not very easy in the U.S. and we put a lot more information online than do people in Mexico.In general, there is no website where you can get a phone number to find someone in Mexico. The exception is if that person is an official, business person or someone who has put their information online. But generally speaking, most people living in Mexico are not online so it's challenging to find someone in Mexico using just the Internet. This is why many people who are serious about finding people in Mexico choose to get the professional services of a company that has access to records, addresses, and government documents that are simply not available to the public.
I'm not saying you can't find people in Mexico by yourself, but it's like winning the lottery. It can happen but most of the time, people need a little more help.Let me know a little more about what you have tried and the information you have so I can review it and make a recommendation.
