Private Angus Hodge
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008In the recent research of my paternal family history, I found reference to David Melville Hodge signing the papers for an Angus Hodge. These papers were permission given by David for Angus to join the Australian Infantry in 1916 for service abroad. He was only 18 years and 2 months old.
Private Angus Hodge was my [...]
Hodge Family History Update
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008As previously blogged, my ancestors hailed from the eastern shores of Fife, Scotland. Exactly where golf was invented.
Inspired by recent family events, I decided to revisit my June 2006 research and go further back. The previous searches had stopped at David Melville’s grandfather: John Hodge
Thanks to Scotland’s People, the official government source of births, deaths, [...]
Meet David Melville Hodge. My Great-Great-Grandfather

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007In a week of surreality, I learnt I am a MINI-me to a Nick Hodge in the UK and attended Ying Tong.
An email from my mother-in-law, who emigrated to Australia in the mid 1950s, connected more dots. And some family skeletons in the closet fell out.
Before jumping aboard the ship to Australia, she worked at [...]
In the Digital Generation Gap
Monday, February 19th, 2007If you are not a parent or teacher with children between the ages of 5-15, you might want to read something else. I know how it gets when people talk about kids.
If you are a teacher or parent, welcome to the new internet generation gap.
An article published in the New York magazine, Say Everything, details [...]
Hodge and Wandel Clan Contributes to World Knowledge
Thursday, January 18th, 2007The Hodge and Wandel Clan Contributes to World Knowledge ... thereby going a small way in balancing the force of knowledge use.
Liam and Avril, and some of the wider relatives in the SA clan took this photo of C/2006 P1 (alias "Comet McNaught(y)") whilst on holiday in South Australia.
In a not-so-typical hardware/farmer mashup: the old [...]

As I gather data, I'll throw it here. It will also appear in search engines -- and we'll see what linkages and comments appear from all and sundry!
This data shows that Liam is a 6th generation Australian, on his father's side, and has roots into the Lutheran-German community now in South Australia. [...]
