When looking for people in or from Africa or Egypt, the home page of the peoplesearch website provides links for searching in a specific country but that may not be a preferred method of searching. For example, you may be looking for a old military buddy that you knew in AF but of course he or she likely wouldn't still be there but could be anywhere internationally. A better choice would be to search in Africa (if that is the likely location of the party). On the other hand, the site suggests that searches might be conducted in the location where you met your lost associate.

The postings run for seven hundred twenty days so allow for the possibility that the email address that was provided by the ad placer may be abandoned.
