Hi Dirk: I only had time to go in and look over quickly the 1900 (really hard to read), 1910, 1920 and 1930 census. I found him in all but, of course, the spelling of the last name leaves a lot to be desired on all but the 1930 census. If no one answers your query in the next couple of days, let me know and I'll then have time to go back in and pull off the information for you. Just a note, they lived in Ellis County, Kansas, not Rooks County. August was born in Ohio but Augusta was born in Germany and arrived in the U.S. in 1889, if any of that helps. Six children are listed in the 1910 census. Hope this helps a little. Helen In a message dated 8/8/05 8:26:43 PM Pacific Daylight Time, dirk@unterbrink.net writes: Hello, greetings from Germany. I need a 1900 census lookup for August Frederick Giinther. He lived with his wife Augusta Ruhling possible in Rooks county. Thanks for help. Dirk
