How can I find a person with a common German name?

Finding a person with a common name in Germany

It is tricky, but you CAN find a person with a common German name. Here's how:

1) Search the German online phone directory:

http://www.telefonbuch.de/

Search is in either English, German or French. You can locate private phone numbers, addresses and businesses. You can search just with a name, but it helps if you know a town or a street address for the person. The server will give you a list of hits, which you can print. This is your best bet.

2) A similar page is:

http://www.teleinfo.de/

(you can also search in English, but the page is more complicated)

3) Alternatively, try a general server for Germany, such as Lycos:

www.lycos.de

You can do a general search there (only recommended if you can speak some German), but they also search for e-mail addresses.
