Phone number and no address: http://www.anywho.com/rl will give a name and address listed with that number, if any.
Address and no phone: When I was ward membership clerk, and got a record like that, I called Information immediately to see if there was a number to be had. In any event, go to the white pages at http://www.anywho.com and put in the surname, street name, city and state and see what you can find.
No address or phone: The longest you want to sit on a record like this is a month, certainly get them out before the end of the quarter. I punch in first and last name, and date of birth, at http://www.usa-people-search.com to get some clues. (I do this also for the previous scenarios if I can't get a result.) Sometimes I get a result there, usually I don't, but it does point me toward some possibilities.

All,
As a newly more rigorous membership clerk I've been faithfully trying
to track down missing information and missing people on the records.
I have really been spinning my wheels and trying to find better/more
efficient ways for greater success. What are some of the resources
that you all use to help locate missing member information when it
unknown. Is there a set of steps you all go through to find the
issues of members:
With a phone number but no address
With an address and no phone number
With neither an address nor a phone number (before sending the record
back to CHQ as unknown)
I've had varied success, but as I looked out on the Wiki and the
archives of the list I couldn't find a well-defined list (with named
resources) that would provide a clerk with a punch-list of to-do's
before feeling good about sending the data on to CHQ. I intend to
compile a list and get it added to the Wiki as well.
