Let me add my 2 cents worth. If there are children, try searching for a child by first name and age. That's how I found my family. Adults seem to get younger through the years so you can't estimate their age. More likely to find a child. The family I searched for came over as Petozsky, 1910 it was BETSKY, 1920 BETSOCASKIE and 1930 the married child was CASKIE and the original family was BETOZHKIE.
