Do you keep a list of those dead-end ancestors–the ones that seem to disappear and for whom you can’t find any end of life information? Create a table or spreadsheet of their names, basic details on them, and the last date you took a look for them.
The table doesn’t need to include all your information on them. That you can easily find in your database. The list can serve as a handy reference and a way to make certain you’re working on all disappearing people and not just the same ones over and over again.
