Try Googling a surname and the town they lived in! I did this yesterday and came up with all the church records for that name and confimed a lot of info I had and also found an answer to 'who is the guy in the lithograph I have from the 1700's'. Added a whole new set of branches to the family. This is a great method especially if your rellies are from Europe as most of ours are. Just type in your own name - you'll be surprised!
