Thank you both! I will save this as a possible CLUE, and get most recent birth certificates. You teach this novice well!!
I found my GGfather, Benjamin Franklin WADE yesterday in the Checowen,Yamhill Co OR 1900 census living with all of the right people, including Hanna and a known daughter, Faye, but (he) or the recorder put that HIS parents were from Indiana! I'm so confused!! , but will check that out and dismiss no possibility. Your grateful student, Barb : )
