Getting a name and phone number is easy. After you've followed the person home, poke through their waste paper bin until you find a letter/bill with the info. If the person is listed in the phonebook (often the default) then you just need the surname from the bin and the town/village of the house you're stood in front of.

- djeikyb 13y agoI'm in the US. Online, I've obtained birth and death dates and lists of mailing addresses of specific persons. In one case, I started with the subject's name and county where they died (the goal was to find the burial plot of a relative). Other cases I started with a name and current city of residence (ie, googling myself and family members). I didn't search social networks. Iirc, most of my success came from online county records.
