Hi ! Jim;
Thanks for the information on the probate records in Spokane.
Have you ever heard anything about a Joe Buster Chandler b. Sep. 09,
1899 in Spokane County ? This is my father and all documentation by him
states this as his birth place. Of course I have not been able to find a
trace of him in the census records of 1900 - 1910. He said he was in Spokane
County until after 1910.
My first documentation starts in 1930 of his marriage record in California,
which states his father's name as A. J. Chandler.
Later his S.S. application in 1937 states fathers name as John J. Chandler,
mother's maiden name unknown.
I think the only way I will ever learn anything about my father is through
some relative that may have kept notes of family history.
Since my father said his mother died abt. 1902, he left home at age eight, I
thought maybe I could pick up something in the probate records about a court
record of a foster home.
Thanks Jim;
