Plenty of trips to the register of deeds office to get birth, death, and marriage records - or land or probate records if not that fortunate. Also trips to the library or genealogical society to see if there are any well researched and referenced books on the people. Census records and gravestones are also fun additions to prove names, dates, and relationships.
