The Wood Family

This book presents the maternal history of the author's family for a period of approximately 400 years. It is not represented to be a scholarly work by a professional genealogist but rather as the work of a novice to discover his historical family roots. The search for the history of the author's family includes a more limited study of several related family groups to show how and when the family lines intersected. Attention at times is turned aside to include interesting facts discovered concerning certain individuals. The book is also intended to honor and perpetuate the memory of the author's mother and her ancestors.
