I too have run into the same problems.. luckly for me on my Wright side they lived in same area awhile and have found alot of information through old newspapers online.. Just last week I finally found my great great grandfathers name in a newpaper article. I knew my great grandmother was Mamie Johnston who married James Harland Wright. Her father was Frederick Johnston married to Marilla? While looking through Oswego paladium papers wam!! there it was Marilla Barrett father William Barrett..been hunting for 2 years.. I still do not know who James Wright father is.. but I'm hanging in there.. It also helps sometimes tracing cousins or Aunts and Uncles and you get a lead.
