Why are Texas records so much more accessible than those of other states?

May 20th, 2010 3 comments

I have many ancestors and relatives who have lived in Texas, but I occasionally need to access birth, marriage, death records from other states, and many of them are not accessible through Ancestry.com or any other site.

Hmmm, I don’t know — it sounds unlikely that Texas has determined its policy on public records access entirely as a way to make money off of one specific website.

More likely, they just want to have a high level of customer service.

Reverse Phone Number Check Services – Free Or Paid?

April 17th, 2010 2 comments

One of the simplest ways to locate an unknown caller is to use the reverse phone number check. If you have the phone number it will only take you a few minutes of your time. All you have to do is go to one of a number of websites that I will discuss here, enter the number, press search and you are done.

If you search on-line you will find many of these reverse phone number check services. Of course, some are free, but the best ones provide the service for a small fee. The commercial services often provide a whole range of information as well as the name and address data. Location data is also much more detailed with zip codes showing maps of the area and even an international dialling code if this is required in order to help you dial back. You can even gain access directly to public access information such as birth dates, death records and other interesting facts.

Businesses cannot escape the net of these reverse phone number check services either, these services hold a huge amount of data on both business and private numbers. Believe it or not there are even a couple of services that can also run criminal record checks as well.This is amazing data if you are maybe a potential employer, or if you are a concerned parent wondering who your teenage daughter really is speaking to.

Perhaps the most important thing is the speed fo access and the relevance of the date. With paid services you dont need to worry about either of these. The same thing is not true of the free services I’m afraid.

I would always recommend that you choose a paid reverse phone number check service instead of a free one, after all what price can you really put on your families security as well as your valuable time.
