Dave,
I just found your web site. I was excited to find my grandfather Paul Jasper Bodine. I had heard that the family name was french but that was all I knew. My father was Harold. His middle name was Paul. Your notes about his death and mother being Sarah are correct. I know of two living children at this time. Jess and Margaret. I will try and contact them to fill in some of the blanks.
George was the oldest child. Not sure of the rest of the order. Will try and confirm this. Here are some facts on Harold girls...
1. Connie Mae Bodine
2. Elizabeth Irene Bodine
3. Judy Marie Bodine
4. Paulette Bray Bodine
I have always loved history and I thank you for this site and the information. I found it very helpful. I am currently planning an extened trip to France so the trip will have a whole new meaning to me. I also made my first visit to New York city recently and will be going back in a few weeks. Maybe I will get a chance to go to Staten Island!
Regards,
Connie M. Chan
