I am a direct descendent of Enrico Bodino. Some of the info is wrong. According to my research we are not related to the Bodines other than those in the line of Henry Edmund Bodine (birth name was Bodino from Italy). Found some of the census and death certificate interesting and was new info to me. Thanks Ronnie. I have original Italian documents for the Bodinos and confirmation my grandfather changed his name after he was older and in the US. According to my records he was the only son who married after coming from Italy. Thanks, Erleane
From Ronny Bodine:
In 1930, the Bodine family was living in Grand Mound, Thurston County, Washington engaged in farming. Henry E. Bodine reported that he and his parents were natives of France.
Enrico Bodino was buried under the name Henry Edmund Bodine in Rose Valley Cemetery, Kelso, Cowlitz County. His Washington death certificate recorded that name as well and his parents as Enrico and Lucia (Bruno) Bodino.
