I was hoping I could get some help with this. When I was in college a few years ago, I was good friends with an exchange student from Italy. We both graduated and went our separate ways. She tried to get a job here but couldn't so she went back to Italy I believe. We haven't talked since. We just lost touch. <BR> <BR>I'm going to Italy for a week in August and would love to be able to meet up with her some how. I have her full name and address (at least what her parent's address was when we were in school). Does anyone know how I might go about locating her? All the people search things I've seen on the web are for the US or they cost big bucks. I think to start I'll send a letter to the address and hope she gets it. Any other ideas? <BR>Thanks! <BR>Ang

I suppose if I had her parents address as you say you do, I would write her a letter.

Hi, <BR> <BR>Would your school have kept tabs on her? That MIGHT be a dead end for liability issues though (they might not give it out on the chance that anyone asking for it could be a stalker, for instance). Can't hurt to ask though. <BR> <BR>Your best bet may be the parent's address - I doubt people move as much as Americans do, althought I could be wrong, sorry to stereotype. <BR> <BR>Or, perhaps just pick up a copy of an Italian guidebook, find the number for "information" use the area code for her town & call... that could be the easiest thing of all! How's your Italian?

Thank you for your responses! <BR>Sharon, I do plan on sending her letter to her parents house and hope she gets it. <BR> <BR>Beth, that is a good idea. I will try to contact MSU and see if they have a current address for her. Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem for them to give that to me considering they post on the web all the current student's addresses. Also, I may try your idea of calling information to get her phone number. My husband will definetly have to call because I know but a few words of Italian. <BR> <BR>Thanks again! Hopefully I can find her!

Have you tried using aol's white pages? They have listed phone numbers for Italy.

If your university won't give you her address, they might be willing to have you send the letter to them and then they could pass it along for you. That way that wouldn't be faced with giving out personal info. Good luck.

ciao ang <BR> <BR>try: <BR> <BR>www.virgilio.it <BR> <BR>go to the end and go into elenco telefonico, there you can tipe in whatever you know and you should find the phonenumber and adress. every italian adress is inside there and for free. <BR> <BR>ciao! <BR> <BR>christina

Since you already have her parents' address, and people don't move too often, you probably have everything you need. If you want her phone number, you have a choice of telephone directories in Italy on this site: <BR>http://www.teldir.com/eng/euro/it

Thank you both very much! I was able to locate her parent's phone number. Hopefully she still lives there or at least her parents will be able to tell me where to find her. Thanks again!
