First Families of Hudson


Two hundred years ago, a group of individuals set out for the frontier in the wilds of what is now Ohio. Their small settlement grew into a thriving community. Starting in 1999, the Hudson Genealogical Study Group began the long-term process of honoring the town's founders by establishing First Families of Hudson using the rules set forth by First Families of Ohio.
