My latest favorite place to haunt is the Family History Archives found at BYU Brigham Young University, Harold B. Lee Library, Digital Collections.
The Family History Archives holds on line copies of many of the documents that histories and information for my Burgess, Stewart, Galbraith, Gass and other lines have come from. I have been able to see and read for myself books that were written pre 1900.
I found new information on a Zuver relative. I had his name as Alvina, according to the Wayne County, Ohio document his name was Alvi. He was born October 15, 1824 and was five years old when his family moved to Ohio from Mercer, Pennsylvania.
This new information allows me to go back to the Census records and do more research!
