Hello,
This weeks Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Challenge by Randy Seaver calls for:
1) Is there someone on your list of 16-great-great-grandparents that you don’t have a census record for, and for which one should be available? If you have all of your great-great-grands (or they are not on the census records), what about your great-grands, your grands, or your parents? What about siblings of your great-grands? What about your spouse’s family lines? Go find at least one!
2) Tell us about it in your blog, comments to this post, or comments in Facebook. While you’re at it, give us a source citation for your census finding too (you do make source citations, don’t you?).
First, I have 8 great-great grandparents that I do not have U.S. Census records for, because they never came to America. They lived in Russian Poland and never moved to the United States. I need to investigate further, because there may have been a Russian Census that occurred before they died. The four great-great’s are listed below (taken from my post titled: Great-Great’s – 13 out 16 isn’t bad):
5) Unkown Andrzejczak – b. Poland (Russian Poland). d. Poland (Russian Poland) [Polish]6) Unkown – b. Poland (Russian Poland). d. Poland (Russian Poland)[Polish]
7) Pawel Pluskota – b. Poland (Russian Poland). d. Poland (Russian Poland) [Polish]
8) Unkown – b. Poland (Russian Poland). d. Poland (Russian Poland) [Polish]
9)
Michal Tobiasz – b. abt. 1863 Koneck, Aleksandrow Kujawski, Kujawsko-Pomosrkie, Poland. d. unkown (Russian Poland).
[Polish]10)
Rozalia Nowak – b. abt. 1863 Zakrzewo, Aleksandrow Kujawski, Kujawsko-Pomosrkie, Poland. d. unkown (Russian Poland).

11) Stanislaw Murach –
b. Poland (Russian Poland)
. d. Poland (Russian Poland)
[Polish]12) Anna Augustyniak –

. d. Poland (Russian Poland)
[Polish]
Secondly, I have have found a 1910 and a 1930 U.S. Census record for my Great-Grandfather Jan Tobiasz, but have not found his families 1920 U.S. Census entry. Below is the family listing from the 1930 U.S. Census entry, where the surname was indexed and written as Tobiasca:
