There was some discussion on this Board recently about a website for finding people you’d lost touch of. I remember that I checked it out and it worked really well, but at the time I didn’t have any really need for it beyond amusement, and so I didn’t keep a link to it.

Now we need to find some friends that recently moved from Cincinnati to Sarasota, and they have a fairly common first names and last name. I recall that the website could sometimes show you other people who were linked to them (like spouses) and gave you a birth year (or asked for one). That would help narrow it down quite a bit.

I’m giving you all five minutes to come up with the answer, starting now. Go!

Try [www.pipl.com](http://www.pipl.com); I recently found a long-lost college roommate that way.
