How to Find Owners of Abandoned Houses

Question

I have a list of properties of abandoned houses and I researched them on the county website to find the name of the owners and the amount they owe in taxes, but what next. I have the name of the owner, but how do I find them in order to contact them? I searched on whitepages, but no luck. Would it be worth my time to send a yellow letter to the abandoned house in hopes it would be forwarded or is there a better way to locate these people? Thanks to all suggestions.

Every property should have the mailing address of the property owner within the tax record somewhere. It is what the city/county uses to notify of upcoming taxes.

Thanks Jd, I guess I'll have to go up there or call, because they don't list the mailing address online here in MI. They only have the abandoned property address listed.
