If the record you found shows names of his brothers and sisters, try searching the 1930 census for the brothers and sisters names to see if anything comes up (although if he was an adult by 1930 he may have moved out and therefore not living with them anymore unless he chose to do so voluntarily). What state and county did you find him in for the 1900, 1910 and 1920 census records? If he is not listed on the 1930 census, please specify what information you are looking for, so that some alternate sources (other than the census) could be checked to try to find what you want.
