Subject: Re: Eva Rebecca Bodine Augustino - Question about her father
Hey Dave--I have placed Eva Rebecca as the daughter of Harry Gordon and eliminated the duplicate references for Eva, daughter of Joseph Rustling Bodine. In 1920, Joseph Bodine was living with his wife Eva in Camden, but I have not found her in 1930. In 1920, Joseph and Eva Budd Bodine lived in Camden and had no children. Elizabeth must have been a 2nd wife of Joseph's.
Confusing.
