Donna, Nice to meet you. I believe we can connect with you, though we have few dates to go on. Actually, you aren't related to me, but to Pam Caminetti Hajny, another new member in our group. She'll come up for some air soon from her routine & discover you too. Her great grandmother was Eliza Ellington ("Ella") Martin. Ella's mother was Maria Frances Hodges, daughter of George Zigler Hodges & Eliza Drew. She also had a brother named George Hodges. You'll have to work with Pam a little more to hopefully establish a real connection. Do you have any other surnames from Amador Co. pioneers? And, WELCOME to our group!
