How to Find Addresses

I'm looking to find addresses of people with the same surname as me. I want to write them a letter to see if they can help me with anymore info on my family history. How do you go about finding someone's address?

Could you pass on the researchers information, so I could maybe use this person for my research?

Growing up I was really never told alot about where my ancestor's came from, and at a young age I really never cared. I always remembered people constantly messing up the pronunciation of my name. Of course always getting the typical, "you must be a polack". Never really knowing what "being a polack" really meant. When I had my son is when I wanted to know my roots, so I would be able to answer those questions when he got older. It's been a very fun and emotional quest, finding where my roots came from. I want my son to grow up being proud of his roots, and that is my goal. I will be going to Poland in July of 2011 to see where my grandparents came from and stay with some distant relatives I came in contact with through Polish Forums. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and stories.
