If the person you're looking for has ever created a website or has information you know was on the web but has been since deleted, you can look up that website via Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, a database of hundreds of billions of pages archived from 1996 to the present. This is a good way to view hard-to-find information because snapshots of websites—including many that are no longer live on the internet—have been archived here.

What We Don't Like Strangers can view or change family trees. FamilySearch, one of the largest collection of genealogical and historical records in the world, is primarily a genealogy tracker, which makes it an invaluable deep web people search tool as well. Type in as much information as you know, and this site will return birth and death records, parental information, and more.

What We Don't Like Usually must know the person's birthday. Might work only in the US, and in certain states only. Might be outdated if they haven't voted recently. A little known fact is that you can find someone's home address using just their name and birthday.

This is possible by looking up the person's voter registration information. Some states consider vote registration information public record, and if the state has an online tool for finding this information, all you need to do is enter a few details about the person. For example, if you know the person lives in Kansas, Kansas Secretary of State VoterView lets you see their home address using their name and birthday.
