I'm trying to contact a childhood friend from elementary school that I had, but I forget her last name. Any ideas on what I can do to contact her?

If you can recall any of the other friends that also knew her, you could try looking those people up on Facebook, and then ask if they know her.

You might be able to go online and see yearbooks or class photos from the year and school that you went to, that might list her name. You could also try to contact the school and let them know who you are and why you are looking for her and see if they have any ideas.

Try one of those ‘Friends Reunited’ sites. That way you can see if she’s listed herself under her original name. At worst, you may find other people who know if she’s married and has a different name to help you look elsewhere.

Ask the teacher from your old grade 5 class. If you kept your old report cards her/his name ( of the teacher ) will be on it.

Contact the school and ask to get a copy of the fifth grade picture that year. The names should be listed at the bottom

I agree with @Kardamom to contact another friend who might remember her name or have a class picture or yearbook from that year.

Most schools have fb pages now. Or at least mine does. They have a reunion page or graduate page. She might be on there, or maybe someone else will be that you can inquire about.

Is a Facebook group of elementary school? Ou could check there.

Let it go and enjoy the past in your memory. It’s never the same as it once was. The feelings of nostalgia may not be mutual. I say this because I had a best friend from 3rd to 6th grade. I added him on FaceBook and he didn’t seemed as thrilled as I was. Time had took its toll. But I always remember the great times we had. They were some of the greatest times of my life.

Now, my tone isn’t “Give up, you’ll never get the info.” It’s more of a, “Just enjoy what was then, and enjoy what is now” kind of tone.

I hope I’m not rubbing you the wrong way. :D Good luck anyhow. 777

I have a friend I’ve tried to find but her first name is B. it is just spelt B and her last name was really common. I bout I could ever find her unless she joined classmates or something.
