Good Evening,

I came across your website and found my great grandmother's name. I saw the info for her was pretty limited. She had 2 sons from a marriage previous to her marriage to James Reid named Albert and Samuel but their father took off with them and she never saw them again. Years later someone tracked them down and they wanted to remain no contact. She has 3 daughters, 2 biological, 1 adopted (her niece if I'm remembering correctly) they're named Donna Secrist, Brenda King (Deceased, this is actually my grandmother) and Edna Goode. Donna has 3 children, Brenda had one (my mother) and Edna has 2 children. Donna has 5 grandchildren, Brenda has 3 and Edna has 2. I'd be happy to give you more info and would love to learn more about the line of Bodines I come from.

Happy Holidays!
Nicole King-Clemmer
