Hi Janet, I just spent the day looking through Tacoma 1900. I don't have a soundex. I found Jeseph Dorfner (b Sept 1841) and Katherine (b July 1848). Their children Addie (b May 1884),Charles (b Apr 1886), and Francis (b Aug 1891). Joseph was a Teamster and immigrated in 1860. Katherine had 10 living children. I also found George Dorfner(b Apr 1874) and his wife Mary (B Sept 1875) with their son George (b Feb 1899). I also found a Walter Dorfner (b Dec 1884) living with another family. Do you think is one of their children? I thought maybe you or your cousin might want this information. Diane H
