How can I go about the legal process of gaining full sole/physical custody of my daughter?

I have a 3 year old daughter and the father has been non-existent for the past year. I would like to legally gain full physical custody of my daughter. I have no idea of where to locate her father; I have no contact information or anything to his where about. I’m NOT seeking child support. How can I go about the legal process of gaining full sole/physical custody of my daughter?
