>>Hi Mellie Welcome to the list. This looks like your John & Sarah family (from the IGI).<< Thaks Graham, its been a while since I was last subbed to this list, I generally make a menace of myself (easily done!) on the Black Country list! John and Sarah Hodson were born 1796 Shropshire, unless someone has these going further back I wont be breaking my neck to find them LOL My interest in thils Line is William James Hodson b1893, emigrated to the US abt 1926. William was married to my Great Aunt. i am really just looking for a connection into this line if anyone has one, and is brave enough to admit it LOL! if there is anyone on this list that also knows me from the BC list they will know this is the "nutter" line!!!!
