Surname Update : Haas, Jannis

Jannis Haas adopted daughter of Catherine Geddes or Feddes
On the 1911 Canada Census page 8, Province of Ontario, District 74 South Grey, Egremont Township line 5 Geddes, (Gedder or Feddes, Fedder) Catherine Female, Head,  b. January 1864, 67 yrs old born O (which I take as Ontario) is Head and on line 8 Haas Jannis Female, Adopted Daughter, b. February 1910 1 yr old, born O.

I am trying to find more information about Jannis Haas. Who here parents were, where they were from, if they died and that's why she was adopted. This Catherine also has 2 other adopted daughters listed on the census.

Jannis Haas (Who does she belong to?)  I found her on the following Census:

1911 Fifth Census of Canada in the Province of Ontario, District No. 74 South Grey, S. District No. 2 Enumeration District No. 3, in Egremont Township Page 8

Down a few lines on the same census there are some more Haas' and another Ellis

Is it possible that Jannis could be the daughter of William since he has 2 young daughters or of Adline who is single?
