Advice on research?
I'm stuck with a research point and I'm at the point of not knowing what if anything is my next move. The state of Oklahoma has no death record for this person, the funeral record is only his name and death and cause and location of burial, cemetery records is pretty much the same as the funeral record, no obit was published, all children of this person are dead with only one living long enough to produce heirs who have no clue who his parents are, no will was published he died a pauper for the most part.
My question is at what point should I give up on this man and live with the fact I will never locate his parents or am I missing something or another resource I should be focusing my attention towards.
