I did not see the originals, so this is the LDS interpretation: U.S. Census 1880, WI, Barron Co., Rice Lake (p. 128A) Magloir Asslin (age 36) farmer b. Canada, parents also Olivien Asslin (33) wife b. Canada, parents also Joseph Asslin (10) son b. Canada, parents also Fida Asslin (8) son b. Canada, parents also Alfred Asslin (3) son b. Canada, parents also Amanda Asslin (3 mo.) dau. b. Canada, parents also It appears that they came from Canada in 1880, not 1889. In fact they had just arrived when this census was taken, as their 3-month-old daughter was born in Canada. There is also a Hyacinthe Aslin family in Cedar Lake (p. 120B), Barron Co. Amanda is one child you did not list. Alfred could be the Frederick you list. Leon, who was supposedly born in Canada, should be one of the children listed - maybe the transcriber read Leon as Fida. It would be nice to see the original, but I don't have access here. Jeff
