The easiest way would be to find a message board forum with your last name, or the Ellenbolt name. If none are available, go to www.genforum.genealogy.com/new.html. Click the link that says "Request new surname forum" (I already looked on the site, and that name is not listed in their database). This opens up to www.genforum.genealogy.com/surnames/surn... Fill in your name, email address, and the last name you are requesting at the bottom of that page, and click on the button to "send request." They will either notify you when it is available, or tell you to be first to add messages.
I found a lot of my Mom's family simply by reading these messages and/or posting my own requests.

a list of things to use in finding persons.. another good place is www.zabasearch.com, but your name brought up too many entries. You don't mention the town/state.
Sometimes posting does not work so well, since it assumes that the persons have a computer. You know the last town. That's where to start.
Good luck to you... hope you reconcile well.
