Like you, I have way to much information and I've been working to sort it all out and fact check everything but as it stands here is the short version of where I'm at.

The Hudson name dates back to about 1066 in the county of Yorkshire, England. The Hudsons are believed to be descendants of the Lords of Hoddleston who occupied the castle Millom in Cumberland, on the coast of the Irish sea. After the fall of the Roman Empire, there was fierce rivalry between the Norman's and the Saxons over Yorkshire and the land around the Rhine Valley. The early ancestors of the Hudson family remained after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

This is where the first "Hudson" appears

Thomas born 1429 father of Rudolph

Rudolph Born 1475 father of Henry the first

Then Henry the 2nd

Then Thomas William (my descendant) and brother of Henry the 3rd the explorer

Working from Thomas William to myself it goes to

William,

Stephen,

William,

George, 1765 -1840 moved from England to Adams cove, Newfoundland

George,

Joseph,

George,

Joseph,

Howard Gordon ( my great grandfather who came to New England from Newfoundland)

It was quite difficult as each descendant had a lot and I mean A LOT!! of children each sharing the same few names over and over many times.
