Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Odgen (and variant spellings) families who came mainly from England, Germany, Scotland, and Wales. Some immigrated to Connecticut and New Jersey in the 1600's. In the 1700's, some settled in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (Canada), and in Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Many Quaker Odgens in America descend from John Odgen, who settled in Rye, Connecticut (later a part of Westchester County, New York). Many South Jersey Odgens descend from John Odgen, the Pilgrim of Elizabethtown, New Jersey. During the 1800's, some moved to Ontario and Quebec (Canada), Australia, and to Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin. Later descendants also lived in Manitoba (Canada), and in Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, New Mexico, South Dakota, and elsewhere.

Includes census index reports (1810-1850) for Ogden (and variant spellings) taken from 1810-1850 census records. The reports were run by WorldWide Treasure Bureau, Visalia, California in 1978-1981. They contain genealogical data ca. 1685-1850. Other revisions called corrections, additions, and comments (CAC) are also included as supplements.
