Contacting Adjoiners

I didn't know where else to put this...

I have a rather craptacular survey project that I'm doing and I don't know how to get in touch with an "adjoiner" to ask him if he knows anything about anything.

Parent parcel was created in about 1935± (I don't have my project file in front of me) from larger parcel... No problem there. It's a long & thin parcel (about 700'± NW-SE along the road by 105'± NE-SW back). The long back line was surveyed in the last 10 years or so and irons placed, I found a bunch today. The SE end (about 200'±) of the parent parcel was severed in the 40's sometime... no real issue there either.

The problem begins with the "adjoiner"... In 1964± one of those "Jim Walter" style home companies created a parcel description "starting at the corner of Blah Blah and my parcel thence proceeding SE about 105' to a fence, 'the actual point of beginning...'" Then it badly describes a 105'± NE-SW by 78'± SE-NW & with the road for the new parcel, leaving residual parcels on either side of it. There is no fence leaving the road on either side, no discernible tree lines indicating planting... it's just an overgrown mess. The house has been vacated... broken windows, stuff stacked in the windows, etc. The main house that sits on my parcel is vacant, but very livable, the other... not so much. My client is a contractor of some sort that is getting a POA from heirs, one is the daughter and one the grand son of the people actually listed as owners of at least a half-interest... interesting to say the least.

Anyway... to the point of my post. I've looked up the name of the "adjoiner" on anywho.com and it provided me with a name and number and the address of the abandoned house. Phone has been disconnected. There was an additional person listed with the same name, different middle initial (son or father?) and that phone has been disconnected also... grrrrrr.... In the new day of this "awesomely connected world" everybody with a cell phone isn't listed in some database... oh, like the phone book. I only see this as getting harder and harder. I'm not sure if I'll sent snail mail either... It looks like nobody is picking up the mail at the house.

Have a GREAT evening!!
