I live and die for obituaries. They are the goldmine that make my sort of searching (bringing old lines into the modern day to obtain photos from modern day descendants) possible.

My cycle is:

Start with info from LDS or family data > check censuses > check WWI draft cards for any males for exact dates and locations > check SSDI for those era folks > check RAOGK for obit sources > check SSDI again for any next of kin mentioned > check anywho.com for living folks from the obituary > call living folks, get more data > repeat process.

Seems to be working for me so far! :D
