    In 1900, John and his sister Zado were enumerated with their father and stepmother.  But Zado is reported as only 2 years old.  And her birthday is reported as Oct 1897, so we know that is definitely wrong.  In the 1896 census she was already 18 months old.  John, who was reported as 4 years old in 1896, is reported in 1900 as only 5 ans born in 1894.
