I don't see the rest of the family in 1930. But I'm still trying to answer your 1910 question. If that is the right Charles in CA in 1930, then we know he served in WWI and that his birth year is 1892 instead of the 1886 implied by the 1920 census record. There is a Charles Arthur Robertson who fits. His WWI registration card says he registered in Muskogee, OK on 6/5/1917. The card also says that he was born in Springfield, MO. His birthdate is 6/25/1892. The following family was in Springfield, MO in 1900. 1910 Muskogee, OK, 4-th ward Muskogee, page 183, ED 120, sht 5A W. G. Robertson 58 M2 MO MO MO attorney - law Sarah E. (wife) 45 M1 MO IL IL married 35? yrs, 9 kids, 6 living Minnie (dau) 23 MO MO MO Charles (son) 18 MO MO MO I can't read his occupation Willis G, Jr.(son) 10 MO MO MO There is a Cook family from Alabama living next door. Can't read the head's first name but he's also an attorney. Don't know if there is any connection. Melissa Parker wrote: > Thanks, that's the family.

That is probably him and the 1886 in the census is incorrect. Thanks so much for the find!
