I started with grandparents since they were all well known and worked back from there. Their siblings online matched the people I knew in person, and last names and states for a generation or two back matched what info I already knew. But into the 1800s searches mostly brought back nothing.

My problem was that records just dried up. Family on one side goes back to Missouri and Illinois and information from both states seems to be seriously lacking. That would be the draw for ancestry.com - if searches actually pull up information.
