Banjo Neo, I love that! Well, the Romani explains even more to me about our connection! Thanks, darlin, for the lesson.

Larry, I don't know. That branch of the family has never been well-documented, 'course noone has really tried much, either. That's my job.*bg* I did find some Earls and Hudsons, last night, in the 1807-1907 General Land Office records for Washtenaw County. Is that anywhere near where you are talking about? My dad always said she was Mohawk, but, as I am sure you know that is a pretty broad designation and not exactly the right area, from what I remember of my research when living in back East.

Thanks to you both.
