<p>Of course, there are means - independent of, and unrelated to Bitcoin - of defying tracking, so not all transactions and addresses can be traced to a source or identity.</p>

If you don't already know how to do this, then it will probably be easier for you to pay someone else to do the forensic analysis. See the answer by @leviataint

<p>I wanted to know is there a way to find if a person donated to a particular site or made a transaction with a known address. I mean I know it could be looked up on blockchain easily, but what I am trying to say is if you have an address of a person and you want to know whether a person has used it on a particular site or not, how would you do that? Is there a website which does that - take two addresses and reveal whether they ever transacted or not? </p>

I wanted to know is there a way to find if a person donated to a particular site or made a transaction with a known address. I mean I know it could be looked up on blockchain easily, but what I am trying to say is if you have an address of a person and you want to know whether a person has used it on a particular site or not, how would you do that? Is there a website which does that - take two addresses and reveal whether they ever transacted or not?

Your question is uncomfortable but valid.

Uncomfortable because Bitcoin serves to allow its users permissionless transactions, yet, the reality is that Bitcoin transactions are not anonymous by default. Tracking and surveillance of Bitcoin transactions is possible.

Since your question is valid - and important - it can reasonably be disclosed that the blockchain and forensics can trace most transactions to an individual via their ISP and connection logs.

There are several companies in existence which specialize in blockchain analysis and who sell this information, as a service, to any takers - whether government, public or private entity.

Of course, there are means - independent of, and unrelated to Bitcoin - of defying tracking, so not all transactions and addresses can be traced to a source or identity.
