Check “Find a Grave” online regularly, they’re doing a fine job of linking up families. A lot of cemeteries are doing their part as well.
Many blogs offer help with individual Surnames.
I’d think that “Meth” is a probably a shortened version of a much longer Surname or mispronunciation, that’d be worth looking into. Read all of the old census from wherever your families come from. Families rarely move more than 20 miles from where they’re born. A couple may move off but the Nuclear usually stay put. Hope this helps.
