Since you will be online, why not have a software package like Rootsmagic or Family Tree Maker that know how to help you search the web. The come with FREE subscriptions to PAY sites for a brief period. Those subscriptions are worth a lot of money at first, but have diminishing returns over time (you already got the records, so why keep them).

There are many places to look, and for every person, there are different roots, locations, origins, dates and eras etc. So, you need to be organized - the software will do that for you, allowing you to put Web sites in Notes for a person, and capturing text from the internet when you stumble on it. Then you can scan your vital records and attach them too, as proof of your relationships.
