Hi...my strategy is this. I call a known living relative and ask them for names of other relatives who might know something about the family tree. You might have to make a number of phone calls but along the way you tend to pick up little tidbits of information. If you don't know the name of a living relative, have a surname of interest that is not common and know of the locale where they were from, do a search at www.yahoo.com and click on People Search (if nothing else, do just the last name and the state) and start calling people on the list. It works best if the surname is somewhat uncommon. Good luck! Linda P.S.
