Every now and then, it’s fairly normal to feel a little nostalgic about your high school or college days. You might remember the days you spent with your friends, the holidays that you enjoyed together, and also the bittersweet memories of having to say goodbye to them. Perhaps you moved away to another city and lost contact, or perhaps there were other circumstances that led you to drift apart. Whatever the circumstances were, there’s no reason why you can’t try to reconnect with them.

A Quick Facebook Search Could Lead You To Your Friend
In most cases, a quick Facebook search will help you find them
Most of the time, you can get away with just using a quick Facebook search to find the person you’re looking for. This is obviously much easier if you know their full name and some of their history. Many people on Facebook will list the places they’ve worked or studied at, and they’ll also include some pictures. You can start these kinds of searches by just typing in the name. For example, you can search for Katherine Marraccini if that’s the name of your friend or family member, then you’ll be given a bunch of different results. Of course, there are likely multiple people with the same name, so you’ll need to look at the different results and try to compare them to see which one could be your friend.
However, these days, not everyone is using Facebook. In fact, a lot of millennials and younger people might not actually use Facebook. In some cases, they might have an account or be listed on Facebook, but they might not actually use their account. So in this case, what can you do? What’s another option to help you find your friends and family members?
Consider checking LinkedIn instead of Facebook
Another social media platform to check instead of Facebook is LinkedIn. This is very similar to Facebook, but the difference is that it’s geared towards industry professionals. There are plenty of people that don’t use Facebook but will have a LinkedIn account because it can help them find a job and creates a professional portfolio.
On LinkedIn, you’ll typically find a history of where they’ve worked and studied. However, if it’s been a while since you’ve met, then you might not recognise them from the information alone. LinkedIn usually doesn’t have many photographs of people, but you can usually work out if they’re the right person from their description and location.
You can also check other social media platforms if you can’t find them, but LinkedIn and Facebook are the most common platforms to help you reconnect with old friends and family members. If you can’t find the people you’re looking for, then it may help to search for someone that could know their whereabouts, such as old colleagues and classmates.
