I have a Frances Deja, b. Aug 1879 IL. Parents: David and Anna Deja, both born Pol/Ger. Children in 1880 IL census: Rosa, Frank, John, Francisca. 1900 MI census has David dead, and Anna as head, with children: John, Frances, Katie, Anna, and Julia. Shows the mother emig. 1872, so we won't find them on the 1870 census.

This family is part of my mother's - Bodjack
