You need to include places. These should be specific, because there are same name places all over the world. If you have found any census records for the family, post the census year, and the specific place, town/city, county, state. I'm not clear about what you're looking for. Is there something specific? Are you having a problem with using the search function on the Ancestry site? Is that what you're using when you say you're putting in info and not finding anything?
