    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I have just traced someone I knew in Mexico after not hearing from her in 20 years.
    I found out there was a group for where I knew she last lived. I joined and put a message on. By the next morning one of her friends had replied back with her contact details. Now we are back in touch.
    Worth looking for a local website or group for that area.

    The university is the best bet. Even if they haven't kept the uni up to date with their address then the uni magazine probably has a "lost alumni" section asking if anyone knows where the "lost" people are now.

    Did they have any unusual hobbies? If so, try adding that to their name in google and see if any club websites come up.
