Searches on most on-line databases
cover the recent 10-year
period;
most purge after that as to save space.
Many members here have
their
own collections of older records
on microfische and
CD-ROM.
Examples:
--California Voter
Registration 1970-1995--
In past decades, Voter Registration was
the
#1 tool for locates and IDs used by CA PIs.
It gave full name,
DOB, state of birth,
current and past addresses, and sometimes
also phone
number and occupation!
Sadly, CA voter registration records after
1-1-95
became confidential statewide, every county.
Now, old
Voter Registration is the ultimate
'starting point' for finding long-lost
friends or
debtors that have completely 'fallen off the radar'.
And
what a super-source for DOB verification!
