Yep....same in my family, very secretive saying we were Black Dutch and as a 10 year old girl I had no idea what that meant but now I do and don't know where to start searching,..... very hard. Gayle Gayle  and all  List Members, We are not sure about Indian Blood in the Hodges Family,  But , from where they came form I would not be  surprised,  but no  one in the Family would talk about it.  Most of us only found out about  it after  the older ones had past away.  We are not able to find the names of our GG Grandfather's parent names,  which is Leroy Hl Hodges.  They would help if we could. Thanks for your email. Peggy
