Hi Jody, I am new to this research of family history! So I am just beginning. I myself know very little of the Hardy family. Came across your thread and thought to respond. Just found out that Hiram Vandelinder is my great, great grandfather! One of his nine daughters Phoebe (Vandelinder) Hardy is my great grandmother, her son Frank Hardy is my grandfather. I am finding some connections with different surnames,
