So one of the most important tips when doing family tree research is to verify that you have the right ancestor. I was at the library today to print my paternal great-grandfather's WWI draft card. After I had printed it AND saved it to my hard drive, I looked at the spot where it said occupation. It said "Stone Cutter". Well, my great-grrandfather was a "Pocket Book Maker". So, I felt dumb. Then I realized what I had done. His name in the US was John, but in Czechoslovakia I had searched the wrong first name.
Keep branching out!
