It's in the mail. Thanks ever so much. I really appreciate it. Now, maybe I will be able to work on some more members of the Hudson family. The two Hudson sisters will trace back to the Putnam families of New England. Some of this research has been done throught the DAR. The Jeraulds also go back to New England through the Gorton famlies of Rhode Island. Maria L Hudson and husband Harvey Jerauld are my gggg grandparents.
