I don't really see any reason we would learn anything about Lois' family. So far as I recall (and my memory of III and IV is almost non-existent, and it's been a while since I watch II), the only reference to Lois' family in the four Reeve movies was a one-liner saying her sister had kids, cats and mortgage. And did SR mention any relative except her son?
On Clark saying he grew up in Kansas, there are 2.8 million people in Kansas. That averages out over 300,000 births a year, probably well over that. Even if they could be sure he had come as an infant, that still would be looking for 1 in 150,000 births. That might give them a head start, but in and of itself would not be enough.
Yeah, but the first attack was in a small town
in Kansas. So starting with that town is logical, and that's a lot fewer people to go through. I am assuming (I don't think we saw) that Clark flew the spaceship to the Colonel in Smallville instead of calling him out to the farm to collect it, of course. It was that ship, wasn't it? Not the artic one?
