Holly, I have made notes like this with the county, etc., so that after I am gone someone knows that I had looked for him and he was not there. ALSO, birth certificates can be wrong. If his bc was a delayed one, it is not difficult to get someone to sign saying they knew that this date was his birthdate.
My Dad was born in 1918 and I have him up to 1940 and cannot find him there! Good luck. Leonard _____________________________________________________________________________ Leonard J.

My father was born in 1918 (I have his birth certificate, and mutiple corroborations of this). He appears with his family on the 1930 and 1940 census, but is not listed on the 1920 census. His parents are there, as well as his older brothers. My thoughts about how to handle this are to make an event for the 1920 census (that is how I handle all the census reports) and note that he is not listed on it, though parents and older siblings are. Is there a better way to note this apparent error? Holly
