Brenda:
Have information for you - your original ancestor was George Sodders (born 5/2/1832-died 12/17/1891). George and his wife Eliza Jane had many children, including John Leslie (1878-1908). John had a son, George Galen (4/30/1898-3/23/1969) who was Ernest's father and then it goes down to you. I have some family contacts if you would like them for more of George's descendants!
