Troy the Locator's reply when I Inquired About Finding My Birth Father, Michael Christian Schultz

Hello,

Thanks for watching my show, "The Locator" and for taking the time to
visit my website, TroyTheLocator.com. I am receiving thousands of
emails a week from wonderful people, all asking me for help in their
search. As much as I would love to help everyone who writes me, it is
mathematically impossible. Not enough hours in the day or enough
episodes of The Locator. But I may have a solution for you...

People frequently ask me if there are any other "locators" I trust
enough to refer to, and there is- that's why I am sending you this
email. There is an investigative agency called Search Quest America
which I personally recommend you consider reaching out to. Now let me
be clear- I do not own that agency, I do not work for them and they
have not paid me to say this. The reason I am confident in their
abilities, is because most of the staff at Search Quest America used
to work for me! I trained many of them and believe them to be expert
people finders.

They do charge for their services BUT they will evaluate your case FOR
FREE. So if you are still searching for someone and have not heard
from anyone on my "Locator" show staff, go ahead and reach out to
Search Quest, see if they can help you locate your loved one. Here is
their contact information:
http://www.SearchQuestAmerica.com/TroyTheLocator

At the moment, this is the ONLY outside investigation agency I am
personally recommending.

PLEASE NOTE: There seem to be several businesses out there advertising
on google and trying to mislead people into thinking they are somehow
affiliated with me or my show- they are NOT. STAY AWAY from any
business who's ads pop up when you google "troy dunn" or "the
locator". There are too many predators out there posing like
"locators" but are nothing more than cons trying to take your money.
Please be careful.

Thank you for watching "The Locator" and remember, you can't find
peace until you find all the pieces."

God bless,

Troy Dunn
AKA, "The Locator"

How Accurate Is This?



The Relationship Finder Tool is as accurate as the data we pull from OneWorldTree. The quality of each relationship shown is measured by stars (where 5 stars shows high probability of an accurate relationship).
Keep in mind--The possible relationship information we show is only as accurate as the member-contributed family tree information found in OneWorldTree. We are unable to verify whether these results are in fact accurate. Of course, that's part of the fun of family history--digging into the research.
