How can a person just show up in one census? They did not show up before 1910 and nothing after. What else can I do to try to find them? Adiline Harmon and spouse Lilly M. are in the 1910 census, I can't find anything else of them on Ancestry or any other site. What else can I do? If you could lead me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can give me. tnladyvol

It's difficult to find someone if the surname has been mistranscribed, and this happens fairly frequently.

Try posting with the data you have from the 1910 census (attach the image also, if possible). Someone may be able to help you if armed with enough information, such as birth dates, places, children's names, family members living with them, etc.

Good luck!
