How did I find it all? Well.. my luck runs in two areas. One is finding good parking spots when I'm out shopping, and the second is finding other folks ancestors on census.
Go figure, I'd give them both up just to be lucky in the lottery!!!

One trick I use when searching census is using wild cards for names and surnames as well as using initials.
And I'm not adverse to using a wildcarded surname with only a 5 year+= birth time frame for a particular state or county...
(i.e. instead of using Coats, I look for Coat*s or Coat*)
