How can I find an old friend by her maiden name with out having to pay for it?

I hate classmates.com because they did me wrong, but have found people on there by maiden names. You can use the *free membership* to find their current name, if applicable, but beware, they will try and bill you later if you don't read the fine print and delete any debit/credit card info. I would be willing to do this for you if you give me info about who u are looking for.

Another possibility is Free People Search by ZabaSearch!

(just to add about my experience with classmates, I had used them for years, not in succession, but maybe once every other year or so with no problem. I always cancelled the membership from their auto-renew feature. The last time I did also, but they went back in and changed my account to auto-renew status again, which they were only able to do because I left my debit card info saved there. Sneaky! I am one of many thousands that have filed complaints, and are trying to make class-action lawsuits)
