Hi ! Randall,
Thanks for the response.
At least you know where your line comes from.
Although my father lived in Spokane from 1899-1920,
he said his father was from Des Moines, Iowa, but on the 1930 census it list
his parents from Michigan. So now I am back to start.

I am a Chandler, my father Joe Buster Chandler was from the Spokane area
of Washington.
Since he was born 09,09,1899 there is no record of his birth.
I have never been able to find out anything about his childhood or his
parents other than what he told me. I have done a lot of research but I am not a
great Genealogist. If anyone knows about getting any type of record that may
tell about adoption or court orders for a child living with a relative or
other person I would be most appreciative for any help I could get that could
give me a clue to his past.
All I know for sure (his words) was that he was born in Spokane, lived
around possible the Whitman area since he talked about the Poluse & Snake
River.
That his mother died when he was about three years of age (1902) and he
went to Yakima with his father after leaving school in the third grade about
1908.
This is about the extent of information I know of my father before he came
to California in 1920.
I saw a Joseph B. Chandler living in Pacific County on the 1920 census,
but this turned out not to be my father as he died previous to my fathers
death.
Every document I have of Joe, Social Security, Marriage and work
applications states he was born in Spokane, but I have never seen anything specific that
proves he existed there prior to 1920.
