Hi Ronny,
Sorry to bother you. I was on Dave's website and saw some of the new updates of my family and they were submitted by you. My name is Joyce Bodine Irwin. My father was Ira E Bodine. The web site is wonderful. I just love looking at all the history. My family has pasted the family tree down all the way back to Jean. My great Aunt Elsie had given it to me as a young girl. I do have some more of the more recent info if you would like it. I also found 2 small errors. My father's sister Mary Bodine is still living. It has a date for her death. She is living in Trenton. And my brother Ira Kenneth only has 2 children Krista and Keri, no boy named Kenneth. Unless there is something I don't know about. Again, sorry to bother you but you seem very interested in the Bodine tree. By the way, how are we connected?
If you would like more names for the tree let me know. Mine and my brothers children and grandchildren.
Thank-you for all your hard work. Please let me know if I can help.
