  1. Let two points be A and B.

  2. Construct the circles passing through A and B.

  3. Draw perpendicular bisector of AB.

From figure,

The centers lie on the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Hence, the locus of centers of all the circles which pass through two fixed points will be the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the two given fixed points.
