church records. In many cases,
the records stated the name of
the child as "baby boy" or
"baby girl" followed by the
parents' last name. Upon ap­

his date of birth. At this time he
learned that the birth date he
had used his entire life was ac­
tually his older brother's birth­
day. Although he discovered
he was three years younger

after visiting their homeland for

ed the grass was greener in
Heppner and returned there to
live out the rest of their lives.
