Hello. I am actually new to Genealogy and I thought this would be a good place to start. I am doing research on my husband's family. I know some but not much. All the family members that would know anything have pastway before I came into the family. The family I am working on is from Oklahoma. The surname is Chandler. My husband's grand father's name was Dale Lehn Chandler. My husband's great grandparents's names were Carl Marion Chandler and Jesse Jewel Lehn. All I have is birthday's and when they past away. I have inf If anyone has any information on the family I would love to hear from you. Thank you, Amanda Jenkins

Hello again, Amanda. I am glad you are pleased with the contents of my first reply. I have now spent several hours looking for Carl in the 1920 Census, and finally found him living with his parents on a farm at Prairie Township, Enumeration District 145, Washington County, Arkansas. His parents owned the farm, subject to a mortgage. His father's name looks like Wilburn Chandler, aged 43 in 1920, his mother was Amanda aged 42, Carl was 18, Homer 17, Melvin 14, Ross 8, Thelma 6, Delia 4 years 4 months, and son Wiley 2 years 7 months. All were born in Arkansas, as were Wilburn and Amanda's parents. Carl was a Public Road Laborer, while Homer worked at home on the farm. The 1910 Census confirms the name as Wilburn. I have tried to find Wilburn and his parents in Arkansas in the 1880 US Census, but without success so far. That's all I can do for now, so I send you best wishes Dick Chandler in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada, researching the CHANDLER and HAD(D)ATH surnames world-wide. --- Outgoing mail is checked by AVG anti-virus software.
