Wikipedia's entry on Cherry Orchard gives a great place to start for general character analysis.
It's been a long time now, but in Chicago I used to go to the Russian / Slavic neighborhoods and eat at a cafe observing people about the same age of the character I was playing. I did that for Kulygin and Astrov. I believe there are similar neighborhoods in Queens.
Hope this helps! Any other questions, throw them my way :-)
