Hello to all you Hodges, I have been watching your list for about a month, and am much impressed with the amount of information posted. This is a very active list, and I joined it in hopes of finding some English ancestors. Unfortunately, it appears to be strictly for SouthEastern US. Are there any British researchers out there? I am looking for GGGrandfather HODGES who lived in Ross, Hereford. I don't know his first name but he was married to a woman with lastname of THOMAS. Both would have been born between 1790 and 1810. Their children included JOHN b.1831, ROBERT, CHARLOTTE b. 1834, RHODA AND EDWARD b. 1839. They later moved to Filton, Gloucestershire. Any help would be greatly appreciated Della Born Bristol, Eng. now in the California desert! -- flatlander@worldnet.att.net Searching for: GLS - BEVAN, COLMAN, HARVEY, FORD, HODGES SOM - HANHAM HEF - HODGES SSX - LILLYWHITE, MANFIELD, STREET, PELLETT
