I have...and I have found it to be consistently this census year no matter what part of the family or where they moved. Most of my missing ancestors, found in 1860 and 1880, are missing in 1870. I have an entire branch of my family that I swear moved back to Canada for a few years, yet I have proof they were getting their mail in Ogdensburg, NY!
Any theories? I think after the War closed people were very suspicious of the government. I find that people in my family also used middle names for everyone, as if to avoid identification. In 1930, my grandfather was listed by his second middle name, Norman!
