My post today will examine the second Stockton, NY 1900 Census page containing a Kanistanaux family. I found William with a wife and young family.

DISCUSSION
No real surprises here but a few things to make note of.
The entire household is listed as white. William claims he is born in New York along with both parents, but his parents always claimed he was born in Canada while he was living at home. His mother still claims she was born in Canada.
William has been married 8 years, so I should try to locate a marriage record for the couple around the year 1892, possibly in the fall or winter of 92-93, since the 1st child in born in November of 1893.
See the Kanistanaux Home Page for more.
