This is a subscription website but you may use it for free at the Family History Library and some larger [https://www.familysearch.org/locations family history centers]. As you search any database, you need to keep in mind that the more information you put into a search, the more you limit the  search results, and you could end up missing the person you are actually looking for. So try your search with the least amount of needed information and then if you need, add more if the number of search results is too great.
