Hello! I saw your post and was wondering if you could help me. I have a great grandfather who goes "missing" from census records, but is not dead, around 1920. His name is William McAfee Jr. and he was from the Wheeling WV/Pittsburgh PA area. He married my G-Gma Lena Fawcett McAfee in 1912 and they had two children; Robert and William Jr.(yes it is Jr. AGAIN instead of the II,lol), then by the 1920 census, both boys are in St Johns Home for Boys in Wheeling, and Lena is back with her father in Grafton WV. I was wondering if William McAfee was perhaps put in prison for a time and this could explain the "absence". Thanks for any help!!
