So much more has become available over the last 10 years. Start by going over one of your lines and see if you can add anything new or cpmlete a gap.

Once you make a start it will become easier.

For specific help with a problem ask for help on a relevent board.

this also been posted in the Genealogy chat board. on this one you have added names to your title - use the Search/Search all members trees to see if anyone else has your family in their tree. No one can help with just surnames.
