Has your family been in the area long, or do you know where they came from? One of the things that really helped my search take off was finding the family plot near the homestead where they'd settled when they came to California. I had 80 years' worth of relatives, just had to connect the dots of who was related to who and work back from there. If your family has been in or near the same state since the Civil War, you can probably do something similar.
