Following Brad's system, I was able to find my parents in New York City (Bronx). Here again I knew where they lived and that made it much easier. It took some searching as the city is more complicated to weave through. However, I have not been able to find my wife's parents in the city (Brooklyn). I might have to wait for the every name index for that one.
