That's why I said "apparently" these were her parents names. I've seen it reported several places as Lydia Jordan, but like I mentioned, you can't believe everything someone else tells you about a family line. Got to do your own research. And I'm not sure age has much to do with not remembering names. I'm in my forties and some days I feel pretty good if I can remember my own name, let alone anyone else's! :) Irene

Irene, The research of some of the southern Norwood family members shows there is no real proof that Lydia was a Jordan. Someone pick up that name because a Mr. Jordan left something in his will to one of the Norwood sons. I don't have my material in front of me so I don't have the names before me.

You may want to try going to http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com and putting in your grand-parents or great grand-parents names and see what comes up. Just DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ. I've found some real whopper of mistakes on this website so you still have to verify everything by talking with your family and doing some research. It can however be a great place to start and give you other people to email that may be related to your same family lines. Just remember to maintain a healthy amount of skepticism and have fun.

Hi Lynne, I'm slowly working my way through my back log of emails again. What conflicting info have you come across? I don't know much about this Richard Norwood but I do have an obit of sorts for him (which is a whole lot more than I can say for all the other Richard Norwoods listed in my database!).

Hi Zach: My Great-Great Grandmother was a Norwood. she was born in Northampton County ,North Carolina , about 1816...a Long, long time ago. I would suggest you talk to your parents, grandparents...elderly aunts or uncles. Have your pencil and paper handy. Write your name first...under that, your parents, under them, your grandparents.. Keep writing the names of all the" ancestors" you can Ask the person your are talking to.. if they know the birth dates of these ancestors. Maybe a look at your Family Bible will give you some names. Knowing the part of the country they come from is also helpful. Keep in mind that just because they were born in one State. .they may not have lived there all their lives. That Great Great Grandmother I mentioned above...she moved to Tennessee in the late 1840's and was living in Sardis, Panola County, Mississippi by the early 1850's My Great Grandmother was born in Mississippi in 1857...her name was not Norwood.. it was Branch. . The ladies marry and their name changes...so they are harder to follow. My GG Grandmother was buried in Ft. Smith , Arkansas. The Great Grandmother passed on in Denison, Texas and was buried in Troy, Oklahoma. Seems our ancestors really get around.. and there were no cars then.... Once you get some notes on paper, get back on the internet...I am sure there are bunches of folks that can help you along. Genealogy is such an interesting hobby. I hated History when I was in school...but now, my ancestors have revived my interest as they fought in every battle we have ever fought, crossed stormy seas, plowed rocky ground, ran for political office and even got hung in a lynching. I am sure you will enjoy learning about your ancestors .

Zachary, It looks like you have lots of folks willing to help you with your Norwood history. Let us know if possible who your parents and grandparents" names, birthdates, and place of birth. If your parents know who their grandparents (your great grandparents) were and where they lived that would help.

Hi Zachary My mother was a Norwood and the family was from the South. If I can help you out, just give me the names you need for your family tree. Try to include the date of birth, death and City and state if at all possible. Hopefully we can all get you started in the right direction for your family project.

Hi Zachary - My middle name is Norwood - and I do Norwood genealogy for my family. It's going to be very helpful if you tell us where you live (just the city or county and state) and anything you know about your family. For instance, most of the people on this list are in the south. If you are one of the southern Norwoods, you're in luck because there are a lot of them. My Norwoods were in New York and included a lot of the early Dutch settlers in the family tree. Other Norwood families are in New England. So if you can tell us as much as possible about your family - not personally, just dates and places with names for very old people - we will all help you as much as we can.

I am researching Philip Thomas Norwood born April 1824 to Rebecca Hungerford Thomas and William Norwood in Granville County North Carolina. Do you have anyone that is researching this family? Thank you for your time.

It's good to see some traffic on our mailing list. I hope all queries have been answered by our members. I just wanted to write a short apology for an off-topic message I let through. It was for me about another of my families and I had to let it go through in order to receive it and the attachment. Thank you for your understanding. Happy New Year. Dick Norwood

I'm trying to work out conflicting information I've collected concerning Richard Norwood, brother of Andrew Sickles Norwood (1770 - 1856), son of Tobias Norwood. Do these names ring a bell to anyone?? Lynne

Greetings............. recently came across your wonderful web site on the Case's especially Edward Mayes. I have lines down through a couple of his siblings...George Ezra, Elisha W., and Rachel. I have attached a file you probably have on the Case Family of NB. Certainly willing to share what I have. Many thanks................. Wallace Howe

Hello Norwood's: Are any of you related to JOHN MANGUM BRANCH b. 12-16-1813 in or near Northampton County, NC? He was the son of John Thomas Branch, b. after 1780 and died before 1847 on Northampton, NC . and Emily Bynum, b. after 1790 , Southampton, Virginia. She died in Northampton, NC. but I have no idea of the dates. I have only found two sons for this couple...John Mangum and Thomas. Have no dates on Thomas. The parents of John Thomas Branch were JOHN BRANCH, born before 1750 in Southampton, NC and Mary Bowen, born 1741 in Southampton , NC and died 1800, Northampton Co., NC Other ancestors were: Benjamin Branch born Isle of Wright, BA. before 1705, died before 1770, Northampton, NC.

Lynne, don't give up. Never Never give up. I have been chasing my elusive LOWERY for almost 40 yrs. I may never find out who his parents were, but I keep trying. Heck I even started the LOWERY DNA project in hopes of finding a common ancestor. If you have a near male relative that is a NORWOOD you might try contacting the admin of the NORWOOD list. It won't hurt. I am sure some one who is already involved in the NORWOOD DNA project, they are probably on this list. Good luck and good hunting in your researches. Also have a very Happy New Year.
