Too many web sites

X-No-archive: yes
Hi

I have run into the problem of "too many places to search".

Whenever, I find a new name to research, I go to at a minimum: JRI-Poland, JGFF,
FTJP, JOWBR, Ellis Island, SSDI, Familysearch.org, Ellis Island, birthdatabase,
whitepages, Bezeq, a few of the Stephen Morse searches (cemeteries, arrivals,
NY BMD, ...) and sometimes a commercial for-pay website.

Although these are all great sources of information to search through ALL of
them looking for one person becomes incredibly tedious.

1. Has anybody found a better way than a one-at-a-time lookup?
2. Are there any suggestions for a better way?
3. Oftentimes, I am researching a relatively uncommon name (e.g. KAMINKER,
WASSERKRUG, NARZISENFELD, where it would be awesome if there was a "one-stop"
search engine to do all of these searches. Is this possible and is anybody
(aside from Steve Morse) capable of doing this?

Shana Tova to all - may this be the year we see true peace for the Jewish
people and discover lots of new ancestors!
