If you are stuck, consider putting the problem aside for a few days (or a week) and letting it rest. Work on another family for a while. When you come back to the first problem or family, you may be able to see things you didn't before or will be more able to take a new approach.
This is so true! My father's paternal line has always been the most elusive. Even though I have done endless searches for years, something new popped up on Family Search org or maybe I was in a different frame of mind and didn't recognize it as a new lead before.
