A lot of times I have found that the computerized indexing done by ancestry.com or heritagequest skips people. I have taken to checking both and even then not fnding. Also sometimes children in the house are listed under a different surname ie. My wife;s father is listed in the 1900 cesnus as Benjamin Barton in 1910 as Wesley Archer and in 1920 as Wesley Barton. BTW he was always living with his mother. --- macbetty2@peoplepc.com wrote: > Do you know if they could have gone to live with > another relative or party as a servant?
