Reply:At ancestry.com I found a few folks named Wiggins (no Wiggs) marrying Odgens, but nothing else that would help you.





If you want to post your parents' names, approximate dates, locations, etc. either I or another answerer would be happy to see if pieces of your family tree are online.





Name meanings or origins just give you a few possible clues. If you want to know your ancestry, you have to research your specific family.





Hope this helps a little!
