1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:07,190
When someone is getting married or having a baby, they make a list of things that they'd like to receive

2
00:00:07,220 --> 00:00:08,300
as gifts.

3
00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:11,360
This list is called a registry.

4
00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:17,030
It helps guests know what the couple or the parents need or want.

5
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:25,160
So instead of guessing or getting something they might not use, guests can choose from this list or

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,420
this registry.

7
00:00:26,690 --> 00:00:34,910
And each registry includes the partner name, the maiden name, details about the event and desired

8
00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:40,190
items, and sometimes you'll be able to find more information in these records.

9
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:44,840
So the first website that I would like to show you is Amazon.

10
00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:50,360
Amazon allows you to create a baby or a wedding registry.

11
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:55,010
All you have to do is just to go to the link that you'll find in the resources of this lecture, and

12
00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:56,930
then put the person's name.

13
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,630
Now this is Amazon.com.

14
00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:03,520
So it's going to search for the people that are in the United States.

15
00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:11,200
But if you would like to find the registries in your country, then you want to change the.com to.uk.

16
00:01:11,230 --> 00:01:18,490
Dot is for Spain, etc. so you want to change it to the top level domain of your country.

17
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,750
So for this example I'm just going to search for a certain person.

18
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:24,460
I'm just going to say John Smith.

19
00:01:24,970 --> 00:01:29,140
And then I can select the city or state if I have this information.

20
00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:30,940
And then I'm going to say search.

21
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,850
So here we can see the registrant name.

22
00:01:33,850 --> 00:01:37,240
We can see John Smith and Rebecca Tucker.

23
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,400
So we can see the median name as well.

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,850
And the person that John is married to.

25
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,010
We can also see the location.

26
00:01:45,010 --> 00:01:46,420
We can't see the full address.

27
00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:48,130
But I think that this is enough.

28
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:55,780
And we can see when the baby is expected to come and we can see that it's on October 2024.

29
00:01:56,110 --> 00:02:02,650
So after you find the person, you just have to click on the record and then you will be able to find

30
00:02:02,650 --> 00:02:03,820
the registry.

31
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,020
So let me come back and click on another registry.

32
00:02:08,110 --> 00:02:09,730
This one for example.

33
00:02:10,420 --> 00:02:14,800
And here are the list of items that they would like to get from guests.

34
00:02:15,820 --> 00:02:20,200
Here is another URL that you can use to search for a wedding registry.

35
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:26,680
It's also from Amazon.com, and you can change the top level domain to the top level domain of your

36
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,430
country.

37
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,120
So I'm going to say John Smith for example.

38
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:38,170
And here we can see that this person, John Smith, is getting married to Cindy.

39
00:02:38,170 --> 00:02:42,250
And they were married on 2nd of August 2022.

40
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:44,680
We can also see the event location.

41
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,750
We can copy this address and put it in Google Maps and get more information about this place.

42
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:56,620
Now let me click on the record and we can see the list of items that they would like to get.

43
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,040
So we can see tales and books and some other toys.

44
00:03:03,210 --> 00:03:06,330
And here are some items that were purchased by guests.

45
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:14,190
There is another website called my Register.com that will allow you to search in the United States only,

46
00:03:14,190 --> 00:03:16,710
and all you have to do is just to add a person's name.

47
00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:20,820
In my case, I have searched for Rishi Kabra but wasn't able to find anything.

48
00:03:20,820 --> 00:03:23,250
So I'm just going to search for something else.

49
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,190
I'm going to say John Smith and then say search.

50
00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:33,870
And the cool thing about this website is that it's going to search in wedding registries, baby registries,

51
00:03:33,870 --> 00:03:36,270
and birthday gift registries.

52
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,250
So I'm going to click on the first link or the first registry.

53
00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:45,000
And we can see that this is a wedding registry of John Smith.

54
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,560
And the wedding is going to be on 1st of January 2025.

55
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:55,230
We can also click on Continue to Registry to find more information.

56
00:03:55,230 --> 00:03:58,680
So these are the things that he would like to get.

57
00:03:59,310 --> 00:04:06,180
As you can see, another website that you can use is called the keynote, which will allow you to search

58
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:09,060
for wedding registries in the United States.

59
00:04:09,210 --> 00:04:14,640
So all you have to do just to enter the first and last name of the person and then click on search.

60
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,160
And in my opinion, this website is very unique because it's going to show you some website templates

61
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,140
that they have created and shared information about the people that are getting married.

62
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:26,820
So let me show you an example.

63
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:31,140
I'm going to search for John Smith and then click on search.

64
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,750
And here are some registries.

65
00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:40,710
We can see that this is the registrant name co registrant and wedding date and the wedding location

66
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:42,000
and the registry.

67
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,880
And sometimes you'll be able to find a website.

68
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:51,000
So in my case I'm going to scroll down and open this website.

69
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,690
We can see that John Smith is getting married to Sarah.

70
00:04:54,690 --> 00:04:59,720
And this is in 2025 and the location is in this place.

71
00:04:59,810 --> 00:05:04,340
I'm going to open the website, and please keep in mind that some of these websites are empty.

72
00:05:04,370 --> 00:05:06,260
Doesn't include any information.

73
00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:09,710
So I've picked one that has some information.

74
00:05:09,710 --> 00:05:12,740
We can see the person and we can see their picture.

75
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:16,220
We can see their story if they have any.

76
00:05:16,220 --> 00:05:22,400
And we can click on photos and see if there are some photos uploaded and some other information.

77
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,170
We can click on the wedding parties, things to do, travel or registry.

78
00:05:27,170 --> 00:05:29,390
And we can see that there is nothing in here.

79
00:05:29,660 --> 00:05:35,000
Another very popular website that you can use if you are searching for someone who is living in the

80
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,470
United States, is called target, and target will allow you to search in baby, wedding, wish list

81
00:05:42,470 --> 00:05:44,390
or community registries.

82
00:05:44,690 --> 00:05:52,070
So in my case, I'm just going to click on wedding and then search for the person first and last name

83
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,430
and then hit enter.

84
00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:58,550
And then I'm going to say I'm not sure.

85
00:05:59,930 --> 00:06:03,050
And here are all the records with the name John Smith.

86
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:07,790
So here we can see a record of John Smith, who is getting married to Chris.

87
00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:11,480
And this is the location and the event date.

88
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,000
And we can click on View Registry to view what items they would like to get as a gift.

89
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,040
And in this case there is none.

90
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:26,300
So in this lecture, you have learned how you can search in registries and find more information about

91
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:29,270
the person who is living in the United States.

92
00:06:29,750 --> 00:06:37,400
Now, the reason why this is important is because if you did not find the person in people search engines

93
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,760
or they don't have social media accounts, then you might be able to find them in one of these registries.

94
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,060
And this will also allow you to find their partner name.

95
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,250
And if you have their partner name, then you can search for their partner instead of the person that

96
00:06:52,250 --> 00:06:59,210
you are looking for and assuming that they live together, then you can get more information about this

97
00:06:59,210 --> 00:06:59,870
person.
