Our Story: Pioneering Insightful Discovery

Founded on July 28, 2003, and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, People Search Global was created with a singular vision: to help individuals and businesses find the truly good information they need to make decisions and conduct thorough personal research, by revealing the often-overlooked pathways to discovery, both online and off. Our core purpose extends beyond the readily available search engines and public record aggregators to the often-overlooked pathways to discovery, revealing the hidden corners of information.

For a significant period, People Search Global was proudly recognized by MSN as a featured site for 'global people search'. This early recognition by a major internet portal underscored our site's commitment to quality and relevance.

Today, people-search-global.com serves as a repository of information, guides, and resources about finding information about people for free, both online and offline. Our long-standing presence and evolution reflect our dedication to this complex and ever-changing domain.

Please Note: People Search Global is NOT a data broker. We do not collect, store, or sell personal information or provide direct search results.

People Search Global was founded by Steve Henning, a true pioneer of the internet age whose journey "on the Internet" began in 1997. He recognized the growing need for a reliable resource dedicated to people search, leading to the creation of people-search-global.com.

Our Commitment to Insightful Discovery: Exploring the Unconventional

Common online searches often scratch the surface, leaving good insights undiscovered. People Search Global is dedicated to guiding you through the complexities of information retrieval, pointing you towards arcane sources of information. Our value lies in identifying and explaining how to use these less conventional resources. While we do not directly provide the data, we equip you with the knowledge to access it, saving you time and empowering you to conduct truly in-depth research.

Our expertise now lies in curating reliable resources and demystifying people search by providing educational guides on how to access a diverse array of information sources, including:

  • Specialized Professional Registries and Databases: Beyond general professional networking sites, many industries maintain their own registries. Knowing where to look for these can reveal specific qualifications, affiliations, and disciplinary records not easily found elsewhere. How to search: Often requires navigating the websites of specific professional organizations or regulatory bodies, utilizing their built-in search functions, or understanding their indexing systems.
  • Archived Public Notices and Legal Filings: While some legal information is readily available, deeper insights can be found in archived local public notices (often published in smaller newspapers or online repositories) and historical legal filings that might not be indexed in standard databases. How to search: This often involves knowing the specific jurisdiction and utilizing the online archives of local government websites, historical societies, or specialized legal research databases.
  • Industry-Specific Forums and Online Communities: Within niche industries, good information and connections can be found in specialized online forums and communities that are not indexed by general search engines. How to search: Requires identifying relevant communities through industry knowledge and using their internal search functions or member directories.
  • Academic and Research Databases (with public access): Many universities and research institutions maintain publicly accessible databases of research, publications, and even directories of experts in specific fields. How to search: Often involves navigating university library websites or using academic search engines that index these specialized repositories.
  • Government Agency Records (beyond the obvious): While well-known government databases exist, deeper information can sometimes be found within specific agency websites, requiring an understanding of their organizational structure and record-keeping practices. How to search: Often involves navigating complex government websites, understanding agency-specific terminology, and utilizing their internal search tools or freedom of information request processes.

By understanding how to access these diverse resources, you can expand your search capabilities, uncover information others might miss, and build a more complete understanding of the individuals or businesses you are researching.
