I have used many different resources in trying to locate my half brother who is an adoptee. Other than ISSR and state registries, what other resources may be helpful. I am compiling a list to post on my MySpace Adoption Reunion group. Thanks for your help.
Once you have a name and possible age, I like "US SEARCH" for identifying a possible state. I don't pay and I take the information that comes up in my search and use it on "intellius" or "black book online" ( http://www.blackbookonline.info )and run a free name and address finder.
Blackbook also has cool state links that are free for every US state, I dig that site!
Also check here, here are some other resources I use often:
