Tips from the Pros: Follow Siblings' Records
from George G. Morgan
Records of siblings may include valuable references to the ancestor you are researching. Sometimes when you hit a "dead end" it is helpful to locate records of your ancestor's brother or sister, and follow their paper trail until you locate common ancestors. A sibling's obituary, for instance, may contain details or clues to place of birth, parents' names, and even to other unknown siblings.

From there, you may be able to work downward to confirm or prove relationship to your otherwise "dead end" ancestor.
