Hi, if I wanted to, do you know how I would go about finding someone thats related to me in a way they won't find out?

Do you know where (s)he used to live, but (s)he no longer lives there? If so, you could ask his/her former neighbours if they know where (s)he moved to. If you know of his/her former workplace, you could ask his/her former colleagues where their next workplace was.
The more common the person's name, the more difficult it will be, because it could be difficult to distinguish between the person you're looking for and other people who share their name. It will be more difficult if they've moved a long distance away, particularly if they've moved abroad. Even more difficult is if they've changed their name. Many people use a nickname or pseudonym rather than their real name.
If you can't find the person in question, you may be able to do so indirectly by finding someone whom they know.
