In the census she is listed as the daughter of the above couple. However, in my Kandel research, she is listed as the daughter of Elizabeth Kandel in Elizabeth's obit and the sister of Bertha Bales Gibbons (Eliz's daughter) in Bertha's obit. My current hypothesis is that Ida was Elizabeth's biological daughter and that Eliz. may have given her for adoption to the Bordner's etc. Dates, etc. make sense. Does any of the Stark County researchers on this list have suggestions on how to confirm my hypothesis?? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
