How to find my father by Phalene

"It was essentially a matter of waiting until search engine technology got sophisticated enough."

How I did it: Using his name and a hobby I knew he practiced around when I was born, I traced his emails until I found enough information to narrow down his very common name to one person. Then I sent him an email asking if he used to know my mother.

Lessons & tips:

  1. When looking for a person, the more information you can get, the better. Even stuff like their favourite colour could help you sift through duplicate names.
  2. Be prepared for a head trip, and a lot of emotions you didn't know you had coming out.

Resources: Google!
