I found the following:
http://transition.fcc.gov/form477/Geo/visualizing_census_tracts_in_google_earth.pdf
Which links to http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/KML/2010_Proto/ download
the one that correspondes to your state number (first 2 digits of tract
number)
This contains a bunch of KML files that will draw borders and label
tract info into google earth. While the automation is great this is the
easiest way I've found to manually turn a given address into a Tract number.
They came up all white in google earth but just lower the opacity on the
area and they work really well. Click in a given block to get the tract
info.

How do I get the block/tract info? I've got maps, I've got programs,
been through the 477 paperwork of the past, none of the numbers I get
add up to 15 digits.
Getting a little irritated at this point.
Thanks guys.
