Finding someone's name by their address can be tricky. Sometimes the person moves and someone else now lives at the residence. Or the person uses the address for mail only, but does not live there. While you can visit the address in person or check a labelled front door, your visit may be unwelcome or considered harassment. An online search can help, as it may find lists of the names of each adult attached to that address. Offline resources are also handy; they are often updated annually, but may be more difficult to acquire.
