How do I organize a county Tax Deliquent List?

Posted
I am new to real estate and I want to market to motivated sellers so I called the county clerks office and asked them to email me a list of tax delinquents names/addresses. They emailed me 130 page document of names and businesses mixed in. But no addresses. Some having more than one name on the lien. I plan to use a skip tracing sIte like TLO to reach the homeowners. But firstI have to organize the list. My question is; for someone who is not a master at excel, is there an easier and more effective way to organize my list of jumbled up names and businesses? Perhaps a third party company or software? Any feedback is appreciated!

@Janice Delantes more information is needed and it would depend on the state. It doesn't sound like MD so I cant' give you specifics. We do have tax lien and deed experts here from many different states. 

From this wording

I suspect it means that the county is selling a tax deed. These are normally sold at auctions. However it sounds like it could be a case of they had an auction with no bidder so the deed remains with the county and is available "over the counter" or post sale deed. 

if I am correct the owner has already lost the property. However some states have a right of redemption and the owner may have a right to redeem the tax deed and get their property back. In this latter case you  may be able to work through the owner. In the former case buy from the county. 

Tax sale law is quite complex and varies greatly from state to state and even county to county in some areas.
