Hodgson Ancestors of Ruth and Florence Paget – Virtual Genealogy Project by Ruth Paget
Among my Hodgson cousins there are many missionaries I was told by my great-aunt Winifred Sawle. She shared with me her sister’s genealogy of the Hodgson family when I was doing a family history project for my history class at Jane Addams Junior High School in Royal Oak, Michigan.
I developed this genealogy for the Hodgson family using online public records. I am working on a mother lines project for both sides of my family. I am gathering facts at this point, but would love it if the older people in my family would write up their memories of the people they know to fill out the biographies.
