I have try Social Security Office, Vital Records, Death Index Records,Archives Records,Federal Census Records, and Ancestry.Com. It is impossible to track a person down with out a last name. I have three names I had to go by to no avail.
Maryville,TN, You are right.

You might try the Mormon Geneology web site. It's free and since you have the family name you might be able to track it down.

If you know the individual's first or commonly used name AND location and associated people in a census year you may use some census records to locate. It is tedious but works.

If you have a city and it is a small town, try the archives of the local paper because they frequently cover the hatch, match, and dispatch of all local people and mention when they move away and the location to which they move.

How can I not know my mother's last name, the reason is when I was 3 years of age 1936 we were separated. Do not remember what she look like. As I said 1936 I was put in foster homes, and never heard of her since. I have a copy on her Divorce Record, she was divorce in 1936. She may have got married again. After 61 years searching there is no records on her. I do not know her last name when she died.AS THE OLD SAYING IS NO LAST NAME NO CAN FIND.
