Some lines I can Brees (wink) through in one long sitting while others I've worked on for decades with little luck. As bizarre as it sounds, I've had MAJOR breakthroughs when a family member dies. The night my uncle died, within about 2 hours of his death, I broke through the brickwall of his line, which is also my mother's. I'd been searching for the people for over 30 years, and that night I found several connections to the line and its branches that gave me tons, TONS, of new information. The next day I made a trip to the courthouse in Donaldsonville and found much, much more needed information. It's happened this way for me for my own relatives several times, as well as for other people's lines I've worked on. When a member of their families died, I found goldmines worth of info almost immediately. Who says the dead don't want to be found? Some, yes, but most want their families to know about them - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I hate it when I can't find that fact that I need to put with an ancestor.
