Make sure you are using a census database that is indexed for every name,
not just head of household, otherwise you won't find the children if they
are living with someone else.

> Hi Everyone, I've been trying to find my great grandfather's children in
census records for 1910 and 1920. All of the children appear in the 1900
census, but something happened between 1900 and 1910. My great grandmother
shows up in 1910 married to someone else (and it says they'd been married
for 6 yrs.) with one child (apparently from this new marriage). Her other
two children, who would only be 10 and 12, are not with her, and I've tried
searching under their names in the census and I find nothing. My great
grandfather had an additional five children from his first marriage and
they are nowhere to be found in the 1910 and 1920 census. I've also tried
looking up each of their names and nothing...Could they have been sent to
an orphanage? If this is the case, are there lists of orphans for Suffolk,
Nassau and NYC (possibly the Bronx) that I could search?What other
explanation could there be for this disappearance? Does anyone have any
ideas of what else I might be able to do to find these children? Thanks for
your help, Liz
