Saturday Searching

I am working on tracing my Father's family tree. At this point all of my searching has been online, mainly through Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org. Some information I have verified with my Mother as she had met some of his Uncles and cousins when they were first married. My Dad died when I was 6, so I can't go the route of questioning him, and his Mother died when I was 18. A long time before I was interested in knowing my family history.

I know that I am going to need to make some actual physical trips to county courthouses and Family History Centers to get information but want to make the best use of my time and resources. So that I get quality information and documentation. I haven't figured out how the numbering of family lines works yet, so please forgive me if there are errors in how this is done. I still have a lot to learn about genealogy. Any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Where to go? What to look for? Where to look?

My #'s 9 & 10 are my brick wall right now. I do have census records during the appropriate times, but no where can I find Elizabeth's maiden name or specifics on birth, marriage, and death.
