I checked city directories from the time I was born for my family name. At that time, the household was listed, so I had not only my Mom's name, but granparents, as well as some aunts/uncles and one set of great-grandparents. (last name wasn't common, and there were only 2 families in Indy listed)
After that, I checked for marriage licenses online, classmates.com for high schools, property records, and ancestry.com for obits. Once I had a name, it took my less than 24 hours to build a nice family history.
