Wanted to tell you that for a few years the story of Ralph Norwood has intrigued me. I find it strange that my father Ralph Norwood from Boston has the same name as Ralph Norwood the lighthousekeeper from Boston. There was a program on local TV a few years ago...the story of Ralph Norwood and his family. There were pictures of his children as they returned to the lighthouse for a reunion. Amazingly, they looked a lot like me. There has to be a connection but I've never found it. Also, I have been searching for my Campbells for years now. My grandmother Campbell married Ralph Norwood. She was from Nova Scotia and a couple of weeks ago I found her sisters, brothers and will meet my 2d cousin next summer. 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
