USUALLY. It is a good place to start. Take a look in the attic, then go get a stud finder and try to verify the joists' orientation. If that fails, well... make an exploratory cut, I guess!
Or, if you are worried about the 2nd floor, look for a hole in the ceiling below (i.e., light fixture, fan, exhause, duct work), pop it open, and grab a flashlight.
