Searching by Individual Name
If the name is not a common name, run just the first and last name.
Example: William Zorgowski who last lived in Arkansas, the first query should be:
First Name = William
Last Name = Zorgowski
If you receive too many hits, run:
First Name = William
Last Name = Zorgowski
State = Arkansas
If the name is a common name, run first name, last name & state.
Example: If you are looking for Mike A. Johnson who last lived in Encino, CA, the first query should be:
First Name = Mike
Last Name = Johnson
State = California
If you receive too many hits, run:
First Name = Mike
Last Name = Johnson
City = Encino
State = California
If you still receive too many hits, run:
First Name = Mike
Middle Initial = A
Last Name = Johnson
City = Encino
State = California
Note: Searching by middle initial: Do not search by middle initial unless the name is very common.
If you still receive too many hits or no hits, run the search by address.
Searching by Address
When searching by address, use the address number, the name of the street and the city, state or zip code.
Leave out street directionals like N, S, E or W, etc.
Leave out street suffixes like Ave., Blvd., St., Cir., etc.
Example: If you are searching for all records pertaining to 1234 N Orange Grove Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90046, the query should be:
Address = 1234 Orange
Zip Code = 90046
If you don’t know the zip code, run:
Address = 1234 Orange
City = Los Angeles
State = California.
