Hello Friend,

Wouldn't you like to make contact with that long-lost friend or relative? .... Well, We can help.

Perhaps you were adopted and want to locate your birth parents. Perhaps you "lost" a child by way of adoption, and now wish to know what happened to your child. We can help.

Maybe you lost track of a sibling, dear friend, lover or schoolmate. Maybe someone ripped you off and you want to confront them or turn them over to the authorities. We can help.

Maybe you want to locate your child's father (or mother) so authorities can enforce child support. We can help.

It does not matter who you are looking for. We can help.

IF YOU ARE SERIOUS about locating anyone, you've come to the right place. Just inquire about having us search for your someone.

If you want the excitement of the search and the satisfaction of locating someone yourself and have a little extra time, you've come to the right place too. In this case, inquire about our counseling service for do-it-yourself searchers. We will guide you so that you don't make errors and follow the shortest route and spend the least amount of money.

Now PLEASE BE AWARE that we can't guarantee that your someone WILL be found. ANYONE who does, is out to locate your pocket-book and little else. In dealing with us, you will receive sincere, one-hundred-percent effort in locating your missing someone. THIS is our guarantee to you.

Janyce.com is incorporated in the State of Washington. Our UBI number is 601-756-806. We have a City of Union Gap (Washington, USA) business license number 7192 (1997-98).

We have resided in Washington State since 1967, and in Yakima/Union Gap since 1975. We are no fly-by-night operators. Sometimes we get behind but we don't cheat you. You can count on us being here in the future if you should have a problem.

FAQ's regarding People Searching:

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO LOCATE SOMEONE? (all amounts are US$)

Although there are services which offer searches for $25 to $50, they will give you a listing of listed phone numbers and you must take it from there. That doesn't help much.

For counseling, our charge is $250. This is for three years of phone counseling. You pay for the phone calls. If you are diligent in your efforts and still have not been successful, we may extend that time limit.

For searching, the minimum charge is $200. (However, if you already have a valid Social Security number and birth date of the subject, We can sometimes locate someone for $100.) The charge goes up depending upon the information you have to start. Each case is different and unique so charging a fixed rate would over-charge some while under-charging others.

PLEASE NOTE Your First Step:
After we receive your non-refundable deposit of $50.00, We will give you an estimate after consulting with you (by phone) regarding your particular situation. The full $50 is applied toward any searching, counseling, and/or phone time at $30.00/hr.

E-mail us and request our mailing address for your deposit.

If you wish, we will discuss your situation by phone (one-time, 15 minutes maximum) at no charge. You will be billed fifty cents per minute for all time exceeding fifteen minutes, if you decide to not use our services. So be organized and have your questions ready.

In the example below (in the following FAQ), the charge for locating the Canadian father was $850. It was said, "Finding him was worth a million dollars!"

In cases of locating people in adoption cases (usually the most expensive), the charges will usually run $600 and up.

However, unlike some other searchers, all information we acquire in the searching done for you, becomes your property and does not have to be repeated at a later time, should the person not be located the first try, or you decide to hire someone else.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LOCATE SOMEONE?

This depends upon how much information you presently have on the subject to be located. People have been found within a few hours, others have taken two or three years. Usually, our clients have more information than they think they have.

Here is an example: A lady, who was a product of an extramarital affair in Los Angeles in 1966, came to us seeking her birth father. This is what she knew - his (somewhat uncommon) name, that he was a Canadian, that he was a young military man at the time of conception, that someone with his given and surname divorced (in the LA area) a woman four years after her conception and that he was supposed to have returned to Canada.

Three months later, we located the lady's father in Nova Scotia, Canada. She has since been there to meet her father, three half-brothers and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

DO YOU ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS? At this time, payment by money order is the only method of payment allowable. Personal checks are acceptable, but must clear (10 days) prior to the start of searches - as charges are payable in advance.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW ABOUT SOMEONE YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR?

DO YOU HAVE ANY SEARCH PROGRAMS WHERE YOU GUARANTEE TO LOCATE SOMEONE?
    Yes, We do, under the following conditions:

    1. We accept your search case under the guarantee terms.
    2. You pay 33 percent of our charge up front, which is NOT refundable

What we are doing here is gambling with you that we can locate your subject. Our charge will be higher to cover the "no-finds." If we find the person, it will cost you more. If we don't find the person, it will cost you only 33 percent (35 percent if you use the payment plan).

I'M NOT SURE I REALLY WANT TO LOCATE THIS PERSON. SHOULDN'T I WAIT UNTIL I MAKEUP MY MIND? The answer is "No." The reason is that every day you wait to start your search, is one more day you will have to back-track and one more day of a "cold trail" in locating someone. It is much, much easier to keep up with someones location, than it is to locate them the first time. The older the trail, the higher the cost (in time and money). After your someone is located, then is the time to decide to contact them or not.

I REALLY WANT TO FIND THIS PERSON, BUT I'M SCARED TO DEATH OF THEIR REJECTION OF ME SHOULD I BE SUCCESSFUL. CAN YOU HELP? Yes we can. In the above case of the Canadian father, we acted as a go-between for the first week or so. This was to protect the daughter from someone we didn't really know much about, and, to protect the father from disturbing his existing family and giving him time to properly inform them of his 28-year-old daughter. This gave the father the opportunity of adjusting his emotions and setting up some plan of action without fear of family interruption. For such as this, we charge only for our time, postage and phone calls. If there seems to be psychological problems, We will refer all parties to professional counseling.

I AM FEMALE AND DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MY MALE SUBJECT. HE COULD BE A WEIRDO OR KOOK OR SOMETHING. YET, I WANT TO FIND HIM WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING MY SAFETY. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? Anytime a female is searching for a male or visa-versa, we will not give out identifying information about either party until both are in agreement to the mutual contact. This is for the security of all involved. Usually what happens is we forward mail for both parties until they give each other their personal information. Other than postage, there is no charge for this service.

I AM LOOKING TO REUNITE BIRTH-PARENT WITH THE CHILD. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT, IF LOCATED, THE REUNION WILL BE FAVORABLE? Statistics show that reunions between birth parent and child are

NOT UNFAVORABLE in about 85% of the cases.

    That is to say, total rejection occurs only about 15% of the time. Eighty-five percent of the time, the "new" relationship ranges from "acceptance of the fact/person" to an "all out love fest."
I WAS ADOPTED AND NOW I NEED A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT FROM A NEAR BLOOD RELATIVE. CAN YOU HELP ME? Well, we can certainly try. And, in emergency cases such as this, we will give it priority. In this day of modern medical technology, everyone should know where their blood relatives are located, even if they are adopted.

ARE YOU A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR? No one in this organization is a "PI" However, we do have access to them if it should be necessary. Janyce.com started out doing Genealogy consultings. We learned people searching techniques in the process of locating third, fourth, fifth and sixth cousins. People started to come to us due to our knowledge and success rate. Word spread, and we made it part of our business.

DO YOU DO WORLD-WIDE SEARCHES? No. We specialize in the USA but will follow trails to other countries in some cases.

THE PERSON I'M LOOKING FOR HAS CHANGED THEIR IDENTITY AND HAS GONE "UNDERGROUND." DOES THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE? There are a few things that can be done in attempting to locate such a person. However, success is not frequent. After these checks have been done, it may be wise to employ the services of a Private Investigator.
