Finding personal info on someone???

Hey guys

First off ...I have to say that im not trying to do anything illegal or take someones identity.

With that said,, i am writing to ask you guys for some advice. My Professor is going to award anyone who is able to reveal his birthday, mothers maiden name, and his middle name by searching the net. This "contest" is a result of the studies we have been doing on privacy and the Net and how everything is available with some searching. Anyway... any advice on how to get this info? I have already tried those stupid people searches and they dont work...

did ya try simply putting his name in the search engines? i'm sure u could find a link w/ some info on him. try:

google.com
yahoo.com
dogpile.com
metacrawler.com

I would have said ask a friend or acquitance who works in a bank, cable company, or phone/celluar company to look up his stats. It would help with birthdate, and middle name, depending on the company, but mother's maiden name I don't think so.

I always use to look up what my friend's spent on their credit cards, and interac bank cards, then I got fired, ha ha, not for that though.

dunno what the score is in canada, but here in the UK we have a national census every 10 years.. which is basically a population count type thingymajigga. if you have something similar in canada that info shouldnt be too hard to find. also check electoral rolls
