Oh duh! moments in genealogy

Has this ever happened to you:
I have been researching the Canter family in Ohio and have been fairly successful in finding records for Catharine Canter/Eblin. However, I have been researching her siblings with less luck... that is until now. Until only recently I did not know the married names of Catharine's sisters. Then I found an old family history that listed the married names of those sisters. As I was looking through some old census copies of Catharine's household to answer some new questions, I noticed that it appears that her sisters were listed on the same census page under their husbands' households. All this time it has been right in front of me, and I just wasn't looking.
