Hi Ginger,
Re your message below:
Unfortunately sometimes people were missed - either because they did not wish 
to be on the census (we are having that problem now with the 2000 census) or 
because they were just missed by accident.  I have the same situation with 
the 1900 census in Roger Mills Co., Oklahoma.  I know they were there (have 
homestead and other documentation) - their brothers and sisters and uncles 
and aunts families are listed in the census - their farms were in the same 
area - and yet they are not on that census.  They are even written up in 
histories in the area as being the first family to have a dugout with a wood 
roof.  Unfortunately, it just happened sometimes.  Take care - Emma

<< Could somebody please tell me why I can not find my ancestors on the 
census.
 By all accounts my ancestors were born and at most resided in Georgetown
 County.  I have just went through the 1870 and 1920 Georgetown County Census
 page by page and did not find a one of them.
 Would there be a reason why I would not find them?  Your help is greatly
 appreciated in this matter!
 My surnames that I am researching:

 Thank you,
