Genealogy Question 1870-1920's?
I have been looking or some Grandparents. I have where and when they were born, married and children. I have all of this up to the 1910 US Census . Now from the 1920 Census I can find no thing at all. I would assume they died but maybe not until after the 1920's. I look at all the sites I know of. All the children have passed too so just thought it would be nice to put the Grand Parents to rest.

You didn't provide enough information for me to assist you. Please sent e-mail to me personally with the following:
Full name and dates you have for these people also the names of their children. I have several sources that could get you past this.
There is a possibility that they died during the Flu Epidemic of 1918.

To get passed the basic information you will have to PAY a fee, one time, monthly or yearly to people who have decided that THEY have the copyright on family information.
Your other option is to physically go to various locations around the world to track down the data, which will be rather expensive.
I may sound a little bitter, but that is only because I have hit so many "Join Now for only XXX Dollars to find your Family" road blocks.

Without giving the board any information about your targets, there is nothing we can do.
Tell us, specifically, where they are on the 1910 census. The names as they appear on the census sheet/index.
The collective wisdom here is extensive, and we should have strategies that you haven't explored.
