I have search high and low for some trace of my father in all states, but
particularly Washington where he said he was born in 1899 in the city of
Spokane. I have not found him on the census in 1900, 1910 or 1920. In the early
1920's he said he came to California where I pick he up on the directories in
1924 and up. He does show on the 1930 census but no information is of any value,
other than as stated that both parents were born in Michigan. In all the
Chandler's I have studied in Washington, there have been very few from Michigan
and none that look promising and of course none with a Joe or Joseph B.
CHANDLER. It is quite frustrating to be stonewalled at every turn. I have three
older brothers who don't have a clue either so it may be just a lost cause. I
did take a Chandler DNA test, but unless I find a CHANDLER cousin somewhere
who is also willing to take the DNA test, I doubt if anything will ever come
of my searching.
