Stephanie, how nice to hear from you. I'm Michael Hudson (Doug Hudson's son) and
now living in Vancouver. I remember you and your sisters and your parents in Victoria from
the 1970s. My father always spoke fondly of his cousin, Shirley.
I have been poking away at gathering the family history of the Chambers and Hudsons, and
through the internet, made considerable progress. I only wished that my father (who passed
away a few years ago) had lived to discover the "mysteries" of the two families
in North Dakota. Also, for work, I'm frequently in Ottawa, and have been able to find
quite a bit about the Hudsons from the time that they settled in the Ottawa Valley in the
1830s. In fact, one branch of the family still has the original farm 6 generations later.
I'm happy to share what I can if you are interested.
In the meantime, I am delighted to finally figure out how the Hudsons and Buckinghams
connect, since Alda and her subsequent life was a mystery based on what is publically
available on the net. My father used to talk about the Buckinghams, but it was not clear
to me who they were in relation to his immediate family.
I'm using my partner's UK ancestry.co.uk account for this exhange, but I'm in
the process of moving over to a shared
ancestry.com account, which shouldn't make much
difference. In the meantime, very happy to have reconnected after all these decades.
