I took a private investigation class and I can give you some ideas to help.

Birthdate and social security number are two things that can help you greatly.

• Ask you mom more about your dad. Questiosn like the year you were born and where he lived around that time. What is his full name? How old is he and his birthdate. Does she remember his last address or the names of some of his family members? Does she remember where he use to work? Where did he go to school?

• Call directory assistance and see if he still has a phone number in the last city he was in. Or call the phone company for that area and see if he is listed. If you get the phone number you can do an online reverse phone number search and possibly get an address.

• You can go to the local Board of Elections to access public records of voters registration for that area. This information that is available to the public. A person’s voters registration will give you a great deal of information. Depending on the state it will contain a persons name, birth date and address at the time of the registration.

You can run a criminal background check on a individual by going to the Office of the Court Administration-Criminal Records Division of you city. For $16.00 you can run a personal criminal background check per borough. This report will give you the criminal offenses and history of addresses.

*Generally, most courthouse records is public record and can be reviewed by just about anyone. Second, a complete courthouse records check can turn up mounds of details concerning most people who live in the county. Think of the different departments within the courthouse:
1) AUTO TAG REGISTRATION
2) BUSINESS LICENSE
3) REAL ESTATE PROPERTY RECORDS
4) TRAFFIC RECORDS
5) TAX RECORDS
6) CIRCUIT CIVIL RECORDS
7) SMALL CLAIM CIVIL RECORDS
8) CIRCUIT CRIMINAL RECORDS
9) COUNTY CRIMINAL RECORDS
10) VOTER REGISTRATION
11) GENERAL INDEX RECORDS
12) FISHING AND HUNTING LICENSE
13) MOBIL HOME REGISTRATION
14) MARRIAGE RECORDS
15) BUILDING PERMITS
16) COUNTY POLICE RECORDS
17) PROBATE RECORDS

I will post more as I go through my notes but I hope this helps!
