WATKINS (20) (brothers, not married) All are Welsh born. I suspect Percy would be at the KOSTER House in Niobrara. Brothers Sidney and Cecil were at Ellis Island in early April on their way to visit brother Percy, who was residing at the "Costin" House. I believe Koster would be the correct spelling. Info from Ship's passenger list...April 10, 1910. Thank you Joyce Watkins Rowley >> Joyce, I found the KOSTER household in Knox Co., Niobrara Twp, but Percy Watkins is not enumerated in the household. The top of the page says the date is April 21, 1910. Maybe Percy went to Ellis Island to meet his brothers and so missed the census taker? ONLY the people that are ~living~ in the household on the day the census taker calls are enumerated. THe only Percy Watkins listed in the index says he is b. NE and parents b. NE, and is living in Madison Co. working as a bridge laborer. Lou
