Peeron has a 'build this set' feature added to the myParts section. I don't know
if you want to enter all your parts, but even if you enter some, it can give you
what is there/missing for any given set. You have to be logged in as a member of
Peeron, but here's the link:
http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/build
That doesn't have minifigs listed (only minifig parts). If you have specific
assembled minifigs, then Minimundo will help:
http://www.minimundo.de/
If you are using a browser that supports the feature, you can hold/hoover your
pointer over an image to see a pop-up with the sets the figure came in. For your
patriotic trio, I couldn't find any set that had all three (the blue seems to be
the rarer).
Baseplates can narrow the field. Here's a link for them:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=12875
Patterned parts tend to be more unique, so I'd start with those. Then rare
colors, or rare part/color combinations (if you know them). Peeron is good for
both kinds of searches.
It can get cofusing with multiple sets, because with enough pieces you can build
several different single sets. The challenge becomes getting the right
combination to use most of the pieces. Remember many sets came with extra
pieces. So depending on the retentive nature of the previous owner, you may
build the correct sets and still have extras.
HTH,
