Locates/Backgrounds

Have you tried to locate a relative or family member?  I can help you find a family member who you have not seen for years.  I recently located a long lost aunt out of Germany who the family members had not seen for about 15 years.

Are you sure about your boyfriend or girlfriend's background?  Are they telling the truth?  I can discretely find information on their background to validate or disprove what they say.  Check them out before your commit to a relationship and regret it later.

Are you confident that you are hiring the right person?  I will do a complete background on your potential employee including gathering information beyond the basic computer search.  Making a bad hiring decision will lead to trouble later.
