Have you had a serendipity moment?

Question

Happy 231 Birthday Susanna [Billings-7] Davis!

I learn something new here every day. Today I asked G2G if there was a way to sort profiles by place and yes, there was! 

I have many family genealogies from the 1790 Buxton, Maine  Census, which I started collecting in Y2k. I thought it would be fun to see if I could connect and source these families on Wikitree. 

My very first profile was for Susanna [Billings-7] Davis. She was not connected to her parents. I sourced and connected her. She had no birthday listed, I added it and surprise! she was born 19 May 1791!  231 years ago today. 

Answer 1

I once needed to locate a family in the 1880 US Census in Kansas.  Nothing I tried worked, and I pulled every trick I had ever used and more.  One day I had occasion to look at my g grandfather in the 1880 US Census for Kansas. There, on the record, two entries above g grandfather was the family I had been searching for.
