I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO SAY THAT WHILE GOOGLE IS A GREAT SEARCH ENGINE AND YOU CAN FIND SOME GENEALOGICAL INFORMATION IT IS NOT THE BEST TOOL IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GENEALOGY AND YOUR FAMILY HISTORY.
BY FAR THE BEST IS WWW.ANCESTRY.COM WHICH IS A SUBSCRIPTION SITE.THE COST FOR A SUBSCRIPTION FOR ONE YEAR IS ABOUT $155 FOR INFO OF THE U.S.FOR A WORLD SUBSCRIPTION IT IS SOMEWHAT HIGHER.FREE SIGHTS I ALSO USE ARE ROOTSWEB.COM,FAMILY SEARCH.ORG (THE MORMON SITE),AND THE US GENWEB PROJECT.ALL OF THESE ARE ON LINE.
NOW,THE FATHER OF ALVIN OGDEN IS BENJAMIN OGDEN,BORN BETWEEN 1760 AND 179O (LOCATION UNKNOWN)AND HIS UNKNOWN WIFE.
BENJAMIN IS FOUND LISTED IN THE 1830 CENSUS OF CLARENDON WITH HIS WIFE,THREE DAUGHTERS AND FOUR SONS,TWO OF WHICH ARE IN THE AGE GROUP THAT ALVIN WOULD FALL INTO.IN THE 1830 CENSUS HE IS THE ONLY OGDEN LISTED IN ORLEANS COUNTY.BY 1840 HE WAS NOT LISTED SO LIKELY WAS DECEASED.HOWEVER ALVIN AND ANOTHER OGDEN,JOSEPH OGDEN,WERE LISTED IN THIS CENSUS AND LIVED CLOSEBY TO EACH OTHER.I'M SURE THEY WERE BROTHERS AND WERE TWO OF THE SONS OF BENKAMIN.ALSO,ALVIN HAD TWO MALES IN HIS HOUSEHOLD WHO WERE IN THE AGE GROUPS OF SONS OF BENJAMIN AS SHOWN IN 1830.
ANOTHER INTERESTING BIT IS THE FACT THAT ALVIN NAMED HIS FIRST SON BENJAMIN FRANKLIN OGDEN.
BY THE WAY,ALL OF THE CENSUS MATERIAL I;VE ALLUDED TO IN THE MATERIAL I'VE PASSED ON TO YOU HAS COME FROM ANCESTRY.COM WHICH HAS AMONG ITS VAST MATERIAL ALL OF THE U.S.CENSUSES AVAILABLE ON LINE.
WHEN I SAW YOUR FAMILY TREE ON ANCESTRY.COM I ASSUMED THAT YOU,TOO,SUBSCRIBED.
