BRICK WALL: Have been searching for years for my grandfather's ancestors. He was supposedly born Dec. 14, 1899 as CLARENCE BRUNNER with parents ALBERT/ HELEN FLEMING BRUNNER, but lived most of his life as CLARENCE HUGHTO. Clarence was placed in an orphanage in Ogdensburg, NY (we think) around 1902-03 when he was three, by his parents. Family history states his Mother didn't want him, but father did. Only heresay. He was never adopted. Recently I am told that in Franklin Co., NY in the 1900 census there is an ANDREW HUGHTO 33, and wife, MILIE or NELIE 16 with an infant, 5/12 months, CLARENCE. My grandfather, Clarence listed Buffalo, NY as his birthplace on his marriage record; NYC as birthplace on Army records and SANTA CLARA, NY as birthplace on SS Application. At that point he said his father was ANDREW HUGHTO (Not Albert). Don't know which is correct, but would love to know if anyone can find the Andrew Hughto family from the 1900 census. If Clarence is still with the family in 1905-1910, then this is not my family. Could anyone help. Many, many thanks Sarah
