"Back when I was a child I remember asking my parents and   grandparents about our families; the Rode's and Bentley's, and   where they came from but all they could tell me was where they were   from. Around the middle of the 1850's The Rode's sailed to   Canada. My Grandmother Merle Viola (Bentley) Olson Bullock told me   her family came from England. My family has always lived in Minnesota   in or around Annandale, Wright County, Minnesota.

My involvement with genealogy started back in 2001 when my brothers,   one sister and my Mom were talking about past relatives and my Mom   told me that she had the lineage of her Bentley line,  done by George   and Violet Bentley.  They lived in Clearwater, MN and they did all of   this with the help of Betty Sonnek of Waldorf, MN in May of 1999. I   have no other information concerning their resources or their   methods.   At this time I got heavily into computers and started   searching for family on the Internet.  Having a copy of the Bentley   line from my mother, I decided to chart the entire Bentley and Olson   lineage.

First I put all of the data into the web authoring software program,   FrontPage 2000. I then found a site that I liked, Ancestry.com, and   it's sister site, Rootsweb with Freepages.  I then used FrontPage to   create and upload my Bentley Tree.  I then charted all my family   lineage on Family Tree Maker. That is when I truly began my trek   walking down the path of Genhood.

Scott's hobbies, when not chasing down Bentley ancestors, includes   hunting for and polishing agates, something his deceased WWII veteran father Charles William Rode got his kids involved with at an early age. He also  enjoys  
 writing and singing music, playing guitar, and various  
 challenging games including puzzles.  Surely the puzzle training is   helpful with the genealogy.

He graduated from high school in Annandale, MN in 1976, enlisted in   the Navy in 1976 and went to boot camp in San Diego, California.  He   was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia aboard the USS America CV-66   aircraft carrier, which has been decommissioned and now lays to rest   off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia.  Scott was honorably discharged   in 1980 as an IM E5 (Instrument Repairman Second Class Petty   Officer).  After his discharge, he worked for several years as an   Office Machine Repair Technician in St Cloud, MN, then Denver,   Colorado and  back to the Twin Cities, MN area.  Scott then worked   for Target in their downtown Minneapolis headquarters, loading the   Windows based operating system onto 10 to 20 computers per day and   setting them up at the Target employees desks. He now is a   Furniture Sales Consultant working for HOM Furniture in Coon Rapids, MN.
