Notes for: Daniel Shoemaker Bodine, Sr.
RB said that the handwriting in the 1910 Census can be read as David or Daniel - the same for the 1920 Census. There is a Daniel J. Bodine in the 1930 Census, but he is actually Daniel J. Bodino of Italian parentage.

Hi Dave, my name is Ray Pierri. Jessie Messina was my Grandmother on my mother's side(Jessie Travis Pierri). I am wondering if you have any information in regards to her that you might be willing to share. I'm just getting started on my genealogy adventure.
Thank you,
