The reason that there were no Megibows in the 1910 Census was because the family changed the name sometime between 1910 and 1920.  Of the 26 Megibows in 1920, 8 of them appear in the 1910 Census under the name Magiborsky with David being the head of household and living with his mother, brother, wife, and 4 children (he also was living with a 3 other brothers, Joseph who died between 1910 and 1920; Louis; and Geo (later changed to Joshua)).  Of the 18 remaining 1920 Megibows, 6 had not been born by 1910; 4 immigrated on 4/17/1911 under the name Meshibowskaja (Joseph's wife and 3 kids); 8 have not been found in 1910 but should be there (Harry and family; Bertha; and Alexander and wife). 

  As to how they are all related, I believe Schaje (Solomon) and Golda had the following sons:  David, Hersch (Harry), Joseph (Yosif), Louis, Abraham, and Oscher (a.k.a. George / Joshua), plus a daughter who married Jurowsky Schneir. I have passenger information for many of these if you need them. 

 Note: The 1910 census has an Epstein family living nearby to the Megibows...  The Sophia comment for 1920 refers to the Joseph's widow Sophie Megibow.
