Good afternoon,

Came across your website in a google search. Our families Bodine records are in there, but there are some errors. My husband is Barry Stone Bodine I (senior) and I am his wife, Christine. The spelling of my maiden name should be Sabatino. My son Barry Stone Bodine II (junior) is married to Sharon Jeffries (currently no spouse is listed). They have two children, Kaylee Bodine, born March 9th, 2008, and Madeline Bodine, born April 20th, 2010. My daughter Kristin Lee Bodine is married to Stephen Pepe (not Steven). We all reside in Washington Township, Gloucester County, NJ.

My husband's cousin Brian Bodine from Alabama has done extensive research on our side of the family so you may want to contact him for more information. He owns Coastal Security in Alabama. He is the son of William Bodine of Laurel Springs, NJ, deceased 1964.

Thanks for your time. It was great to see the website!

Sincerely,
Christine, and Barry S. Bodine Sr.

Another quick note on my husband's mother, listed as Margaret Stone. Her name was Margaret Jensen before she got married; her step father was Dr. Stone and her last name was never Stone. Her name now is Margaret Jensen Bodine Keely (she remarried after her first husband Charles Bodine died, to R. Brooke Keely 10 years later). She was born on November 30th, 1919 and is still alive, residing in Laporte, PA.

Just noticed these errors,
Thanks again.
Christine Bodine
