E-Mail

---

There is no complete E-Mail directory. The following seem to do the best, pulling addresses from Usenet postings, voluntary directories and the like. Often it's easier to guess an address.

Experts

---

Well, maybe these aren't all experts. But they give good quote.

Phones

---

The residential telephone listings on the Web do not come from up-to-the-minute directory assistance from the major phone companies. But searching is convenient.

Public records

---

Not free, these services charge for database searches, backgrounding, public records checks, etc.

Reverse directories

---

Start with what you know -- address, phone number, E-mail address -- and find the person. (If the person is listed. Remember, this is not tied to up-to-date "directory assistance.")
