A fairly simple stumbling block that has me stumped.
My grandmother recently passed away. All my life she had a magnificent painting by her very well-known artist cousin hanging on her wall. She had told me that when she passed, she felt the painting should go to him/his family.

I found that he passed away in 1999, but with much internet searching, I found his daughter's first, middle and last name and the town she lives in, her age 68. I checked public records and deeds, etc. are listed there, but without any addresses.

I am looking for a phone number or mailing address to tell her that I have this valuable painting by her father for her.

I have been to those sites that want to sell info, but I don't want to pay for it and don't know if they really give any reliable info after you pay.

Given that I have her entire first, middle & last name, town and age, is there a way to get phone or email or mailing address info?

If I can't locate her, I do love that painting! Hahaha!!!

1. I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother.


Have you tried http://www.whitepages.com/ ?

If that doesn't work, I'd be happy to try to find something if you want to PM me the details.

2. Well if you had access to ancestry. com you could
type in the daughter's name. And sometimes along with all the other things they have information on the person's latest phone numbers and addresses. You might get lucky. If you don't have ancestry post the daughters name and I'll do a quick search to see if she is there.

4. WOWEEE!!!!! DUers are amazing!!
I PMed the info and Bitwit already sent me my distant cousin's mailing address!!!!

Heck, I sorta hoped the cousin couldn't be found so I could keep that beautiful painting! But what a joy it'll be to contact her and pass along a painting of her father's that has been so loved by my family for so many years.

I am just dumbfounded at the incredible resource that Duers are.

Thank you Bitwit and WriterBlock!!!
