I am seeking any information on Irish Norwoods, in particular from Dunmanway in Cork. My great great grandfather Edward NORWOOD was born about 1827 in Dunmanway and came to Australia in the 1850's where he married Mary Jane PAULEY in 1865. His parents were John NORWOOD and Elizabeth McMULLIN. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. [email protected]

Sorry for sending the last message regarding unsubscribing to the list. I meant to send it privately.

RE: Mary Norwood Holly, I have the Mary Norwood you mention in my files. There are 606 Norwoods included and I am sure there are nearly as many errors but I like to put the information up for view and hope for folks to come along and correct or add to it. That system seems to work fine for me. You can see everything I have at my Rootsweb World Connect site: <http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=joanbill> Most of my information on that family came from W.C. Bauer Descendancy Charts. Mr Bauer compiled a lot of information on Norwoods and did some research on his own as well. I sort of liked his motto when referring to material he compiled from the inputs of others: "I can't prove a word of it." Nevertheless, he opened many doors and gave us many possibilities to investigate. Anyway, as to your question, Mary Norwood is shown in Mr. Bauers files to be a daughter of William (The Immigrant) Norwood and Lydia Jordan. Hope this helps a little bit.

I love the new search engine on the Norwood Page. It was a great addition. Thanks. I wrote Belinda Houston when I found her posted information on her John M. Norwood. The address on her post was not current and her mail was returned. Please contact me, Belinda, if you are still on the list. Thanks again. [email protected]

Does anyone know the ancestry of Boston Light light keeper, Ralph C. Norwood? I have found the following information about him (in brief): Ralph C. Norwood b. 1904 m. 1921 Josephine Emmons d. 1987 Lightkeeper at Boston Light in the 1930s. Daughter Georgia, b. 1932, briefly famous, married an Emerson and had a son Willie who wrote about her in a book entitled _First Light_. The family was possibly of Boothbay, Maine or Brunswick, Maine. Ralph and Josephine had nine children by 1946. Georgia was the 7th. Children (birth order uncertain): Ralph C. Norwood, II, m. 1950, Katherine Poole in Maine. Wanda Priscilla Fay Gail Bob Georgia m. Mr. Emerson (lived in Biddeford?) Bruce Dexter sources: SSDI Maine marriages at Rootsweb.com Maine deaths at Rootsweb.com <a href="http://www.lighthouse.cc/boston/history2.html" >http://www.lighthouse.cc/boston/history2.html</a> Hoping to hear from descendants or others in the larger family who have Ralph and family in their database.

Jackie Norwood Corby >> Hi Jackie, Just quickly (it's good to hear from you), I have a contact with a fellow named Scott Norwood, who grew up in Wellesley, Mass. His father is Ralph Norwood and he believes he is related to the lighthouse family too. Apparently Georgia Norwood married a man named Emerson. Her son Willie wrote a book entitled First Light, but I have not been able to find it on line. I haven't been able to find anything out about the family. Scott says his father was from New Hampshire and he was aware of the large number of Norwoods in Maine--and he included northern NH. There is a Ralph Morse Norwood in Jim Dempsey's database, descended from Joshua III of Mt. Desert. Hope you're well. Thanks for the feedback on both the search engine and the Ralph Norwood link. Best, Dick Norwood

I have just added a search engine to the Norwood Family Page by which you can search the site by keywords and phrases. Next time you visit, please try it out and tell me what you think. I have tried it and am quite excited about it. I hope and believe that it will give visitors a more powerful and direct way to find the information they are seeking on the site.

Hello everyone! I would appreciate the assistance of anyone who is in possession of the Norwood book. Based upon the index on Dick's website, I ask that the information for the below-named persons be forwarded to me. I have copied their name as it appears on the index: Norwood, Nathan [4254] (1755-1825), 200, 231 Norwood, Nathan [4255], 200 Norwood, Nathaniel [4298], 197 Norwood, Nathaniel [4326] (b.1788), 231 Norwood, Nathaniel [4381] (1818-63), 233 Norwood, Eli James [14067] (1848-1926), 158 Norwood, Eli Sebastian [1691] (1820-87), 163 Celeste ========== In a message dated 12/01/2000 3:34:29 AM Mid-Atlantic Standard Time, [email protected] writes: << Subj: The Norwoods III--indexed.

I've been really encouraged to see all the traffic on the Norwood Family Page from family all over the world. I've been especially interested in recent queries from English Norwoods tracing their families in England. Because of other interests and activities, I haven't been very active in genealogical research for many months, probably more than a year, but recently I received an interesting e-mail from Ariel Hessayon about her proposed entry to the New Dictionary of National Biography of Capt. Robert Norwood, a soldier on the Parliament side in the English Civil War, that reenergized me. Jim Dempsey already studied the case of Robert Norwood because of similarities of his story with that of Francis Norwood of Gloucester, Mass., whose descendants still don't know his origins. I don't know that we ever will, but as time goes by perhaps more will be uncovered to help identify him. But this message is to let you all know that Pat Crewe has produced an index in three parts for Ms. Callam's The Norwoods III. As you all know, this book does not contain an index and is difficult to search for that reason. Pat's indexes solve this problem. I have gone ahead and posted the indexes on the Norwood Family Page. You can find them on the left hand side of the main page just above the buttons for the various areas of the website. You can open them right from the main page. If you don't have the Norwoods III, but would like me to check an indexed item, I will be happy to do so. I hope others with the book might volunteer to do so too. That's all. I hope you are all well and continuing to try to find your Norwood ancestors and relatives. If you have any new discoveries to share, please do, here on our mailing list. If you want to add data or articles to the Norwood Family Page, please let me know. If you can, identify your earliest known ancestor--in the US, your immigrant ancestor. Thanks very much.

Matt, We discussed this sometime ago on this list. The books are still in copyright (GMNC is still alive - and of course copyright lasts for 50 years after the authors death). I understand that the author is unwilling to permit a new print run of any of the volumes.

The LDS has microfilmed volume I, that I know of. I don't know about volume II. You can rent the microfilm at your local family history center.

Dick, When you say "out of print", who originally printed the first two? Are the rights "owned" by anyone? If not, is republishing them a possibility? I could contribute to republishing a few copies.
