We all live in Bend, OR so I am doing this by computer. I just started this week and have found a lot. My e-mail is jellen@coinet.com. I will keep in touch this week as I take this information through the census and births etc. Do you know where Betty Ann and Harrison Martin Dean were married? Was it in California? I cannot find Wilber or William as a young man born in Wisconsin as he says. He was born about 1884, so he says.Some of the records for Iowa and many states were destroyed in a fire. It was the 1890-1900 records for the midwest that is had to locate. Many states did five year census of their own. I will keep looking. Wilber said his parents were born in Germany but he was born in Wisconsin. Thanks again. Jan
