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 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 .
