Subject: Alice J Bodine
I am the granddaughter of Alice Jean Bodine Craig. The information you have listed for her mother and father is incorrect. Her biological father is Walter Nathaniel Miller born 12/12/1908 in Racine, Newton,Missouri and her mother is Hazel Lippincott Bodine born 1/27/1890 in Camden, New Jersey. My grandmother was born in Galena, Kansas 4/22/1928. She has a biological sister Mary Miller born in 1931. I believe I saw the information you have written about her and you do have the correct biological parents listed for Mary. They were adopted by their uncle after the passing of Hazel. I am in the process of doing some ancestry on my family and came across this site. Thank you for what you do it's all very interesting.
