I saw the following in the latest issue of Everton's Genealogical Helper - thought someone here may be interested: ""The Rood/Roode/Rude Genealogy, Descendants of Thomas Roode and Sarah (?)," 1999. By Mona Lee (Haag) Rood, 6709 Beauford Dr., Austin, TX 78750. 1-800-584-0063; monarood@prodigy.net; http://www.explore-it.net/Genealogy/Rood. Hardcover, 8-1/2 x 11", 835 pages, indexed. $74.00 ppd. Mastercard, Visa and Discover accepted. For credit card orders please call or use web site. This collection of records on the ROOD - ROODE - RUDE family in the United States 1626-1999 is the result of 37 years of research by the author plus many records contributed by fellow researchers. Sources include census records, obituaries, family histories, newspaper articles, Bible records, court records, wills, and more. The first generation of this genealogy begins with Thomas ROOD ROODE who was born 1625-26 in Glastonbury, County, Somerset, England. In the following chapters, we follow thirteen generations of descendants to Connecticut, Vermont, and other areas of the United States. There are footnotes throughout the genealogy, giving the source of the information. A full-name index lists all the individuals found in this fine genealogical study."" Celia [in Illinois]
