Notes for: Anaceil ("Andrew") Nathaniel Bodine
The original information on this family came from a post by Shirley at the Ancestry.com Bodine message board:
I am desperately searching for descendants of my Swedish grandfather, Andrew Bodine. I was adopted. Andrew and Susanna had seven children: Ellen (Mrs. R.L. Clark), Elsie Windiate, Esther Bodine, Gust Bodine, Benjamin Richard Bodine, Astrid (Mrs. Hugo Brynolf) and Julia Trownsell Bodine. The Andrew Bodine family had settled in Iron Mountain, MI. My uncle Gust, as I understand it, moved to Portland, Oregon and eventually Pacific Grove, CA. My grandfather had a brother, Axel Bodine, who emigrated from Sweden to the Chicago area in 1884, a year after my grandparents emigrated to MI. Any trace of this family would be so very much appreciated. Thanks so much!
