Abstract

A method and system for determining a connection between a source party and a target party includes constructing a host database that includes a plurality of records, each record including a number of data fields containing identification information of a party, such that the identification information is extracted from non-restricted sources. A client database is constructed that includes a plurality of records, each record including a number of data fields containing identification information of a party, such that the identification information is extracted from a client's private sources. Identification information of a source party and a target party is received. A record in the client database is identified that includes identification information of the source party, and a record in the host database is identified that includes identification information of the target party. The data fields in the records of at least one of the client database and the host database are searched to locate identification information commonalties between the source party record and at least one intermediate party record. The data fields in the records of at least one of the client database and the host database are searched to locate identification information commonalties between the at least one intermediate party record and the target party record. Upon locating at least one identification information commonality between the at least one intermediate party record and the target party record, a list is generated that includes the at least one intermediate party record.
