A big thank you to those of you who responded to my question. The talk all about census errors, neighbors answering, also has been enlightening. Laura thank you so much for finding the 1900 census for my father for me, it is really a great census, so much info on that one, that I didn't know, or could confirm. I believe now with the 1900 census, his 1st marriage record, his World War I registration, the 1900 & 1910 census, and his death certificate all saying his birthyear was 1876, I believe that I will go with that, those weigh the most evidence that I can see. If anyone has any further suggestions or comments I would love to hear them. Also if anyone can ever locate him in the 1930 census I would really appreciate that. Again my sincerest thanks to all....Peggy
