I have a family that moved from Oklahoma to Oregon in 1917. Charles Dallas (Dal) Dunn (b.1865 IN) and his wife Ella Byrd Nalsh Brown (b 1876 KS) were shown on the 1910 census in Comanche County, OK. They moved to Portland OR in 1917 where he worked for the railroad. He died in 4-1925 as a result of being hit by a car. My dilemma is where were they on the 1920 census? Everything points to they should be in OR but I have been unable to find any of them there. They had ten children, some born in IN, some in KS, some in OK, and the last in 1918 in OR. I don't know if Charles was in the army in 1920 or not (his obit did not mention it). Even if he was in the Army, shouldn't she be shown on the 1920 census (she died in 1936). I don't know if she remarried after he died or not. Any suggestions on how I might find them on the 1920 census will be appreciated. This may be one of those things that I have looked so long and so hard I just can't see what is right in front of my face.

Hi You might try WWl Draft Registration cards at Ancestry.com. Your Dunn had to register and you will find out where he was. Try Oregon first then his previous residence. Most public libraries subscribe to Ancestry.com. I live in Canada and have access through my city library. If you don't have access I can check for you but it would be in a week's time.

Charles Dunn is not found on the WWI draft registration. If he was born in 1865, he would have been too old to be required to register for the draft. Frustrating as it may be, there are many, many families that were missed for various census records.
