We are trying to track down a long lost family member and need to access their personal information that isn't publically available. Is there any way for us to do this?

Yes. You can contact the missing relative's past or current employers, banks, and other service providers to request access to their personal information. Additionally, the relative may have already shared this information with another family member or close friend that could pass it along to you.

Depending on where you live, there might be some legal options available to you. If the person in question is a US citizen, and over the age of 18, then you may want to try a process known as a "discovery subpoena" which allows an individual to legally gain access to certain types of information. You should also check with local authorities, as some may have special legal processes in place for locating missing relatives. Otherwise, accessing personal information from social media or public records may be your best option.
