INDEX from HODGINS KINDRED FOREVER OCR transcription [NOTE:: Please report any spelling errors or differences from the spelling in the original book HODGINS….KINDRED FOREVER. Email corrections to: arnie-krause@shaw.ca (the address is arnie-krause and not just Krause as shown by the link that does not work properly!!)] This index not only includes chapter headings but also the names of the early home districts of the Hodgins in Ireland as well as the names of early settlements of the pioneers in Canada, Australia, and the United States of America. The surnames of the related families are also given as they appear in each chapter. It will have very little meaning when you come upon one or two names related to your family, but, if you come upon a group of family names which you recognize as familiar to your own family's past, then you may well be on the right track to locate the chapter in which your own family history is recorded. This book is divided into fourteen sections which are subdivided into one hundred and twenty-five chapters. Then there is a subdivision of family groups referred to as "Clans". In the days of the early settlers, there were so many Hodgins each named either James, John, George, Tom, or William, that the neighbours took to nicknaming each in order to tell one from the other of similar given name. These nicknames have been a great blessing to the researcher for they were often the only clue to link descendants to their true ancestor. Nicknames, place-names as well as other marked differences have often become clan-names. Clan-names have little value today but they often help the waifs and strays to find their way back to the family fold and to their own family chapter.

Chapter 112 - Hodgin families descended from early Quaker times. ------- Pg 314 This family emerged two hundred and fifty years ago from the great concourse of Hodgins families in Ireland, and at a time when the spelling of the name was varied. In the States, this family settled on the spelling of the name without the letter “s” but they came from their ancestral home in Ireland where they were surrounded with many Hodgins of early times so the relationship is almost unquestionable. Early homes were in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Missouri, Indiana, and many other Western states. Descendants now number in the thousands and under many names other than Hodgin.

This shows names of relatives, forefathers, and chapter in which they can be located. Do not be too optimistic for we have so little to go on for our information. So concludes section thirteen, "Hodgins of the United States." Section 14 - Related families. There are some families which have been neighbours with families of Hodgins for centuries. This began in Ireland and some of these families crossed the ocean to Canada with Hodgins and set tied in the same communities. Many marriages have been registered between Hodgins and anyone of these certain families through the years and repeated in many generations, in fact, some people known by another name consider themselves more Hodgins than the family name by which they are called. This section gives a few chapters on the history and chronology of a few of these families. It is our hope that some day an entire volume will be compiled on related families alone. Chapter 115 - The DeCoursey family in Ireland ------------------------- pg 333 Chapter 116 – DeCoursey’s in Canada, with a few of in the States ------ pg 336 Two DeCoursey brothers married two Hodgins sisters in Biddulph, Ontario.

Chapter 122 - The Sceli family ------------------------------------------ pg 365 If your names resembles Sceli in any way, you would be wise to read this chapter carefully. No family was ever more ingenious than the Scelis in thinking up new ways of spelling the name. In Biddulph, a certain piece of property was registered in the Sceli family for at least sixty years. In the space of sixty years, the land registry office spelled the name of the Sceli owners twelve different ways. It is impossible to follow every whim of spelling to suit each sub-family group and, for this reason, we have remained with the spelling most in keeping with the family's illustrious origin.
