The LDS have been collecting information about families for generations, and they share it with all of us. I was astonished to find a Stariha message board. It only had two entries, but both looked promising. The USGenWeb project consists of websites for each county in the United States. Each site, hosted by volunteers, contains genealogical information for that county.
Some sites have much data, while others have little.
Each site does have a query section where you can post a note that you are searching a particular family. Other genealogists who are researching the same county and the same surname can then find you. Whenever I begin work on a new family, I use a search engine to look for family websites. I like Dogpile for it quickly scans a number of the major search engines. When I directed Dogpile to look for Stariha, it returned several hundred hits, including a couple of family websites.
