<p>Here is an odd situation, I believe.
I THINK I created a Bitcoin account many years ago. It seems there was a site that gave bitcoin to people who signed up. It was just a few. My sister sent me a link.
Problem is, I do not remember where it was. What information do I need to have to try and track down this account? Is it even possible?</p>

Its highly unlikely that even if you worked out which site it was, that the site is still operational now, many years later sorry
