Seeking info on Joseph James Woods. Family bible says died Hardeman Co.,Tn. 1881, no other info listed. Related to Joseph A. and David Woods of Hardeman Co., sons or Samuel R. Woods, Orange Co. N.C. Thanks Jim

Sheri, You might want to try searching land patents. The Bureau Of Land Management - General Land Office Records are online at: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/search/search.asp?s=14 Not all the states are included, but Minnesota is and there are numerous entries for Wood and Woods. Hope you find the site to be of interest. Brett F. Woods Santa Fe, New Mexico

Wow- there sure are a lot of helpful Wood/Woods reseachers out there. It sounds like from your responses that Lutie is definately a name people have heard of as both a nickname and a given name. That helps. I am now working on Minnesota Wood/Woods. Would love to hear from anyone on that. Thanks. Sheri at lequia@elite.net

Has anyone ever heard of the name Lutie? I am looking at a hard to read census record. It looks like the first name might be Lutie. Has anyone ever heard of that name? Is it a nickname? Thanks for anyone who could help on this. Sheri at lequia@elite.net

G'Day everyone, I've just joined this list and felt I should highlight my interests. My WOODS family line come from Walsham-Le-Willows in Suffolk, although there seems to be a bit of swapping between this place and Stowmarket (also Suffolk). Anna Elizabeth 1872 Richard 1845 Richard 1810 I can provide much more through my website http://www.users.bigpond.com/ancestry.htm (select Names, Woods).

I think I may have found my orphaned Wood/Woods child, Herbert Woods in Minnesota in 1880 census living with a Fred Leathers family in Oak Grove, Anoka County Minnesota. If anyone has Wood/Woods in Minnesota in 1880's I'd like to hear from you to look for possible connections. I'll have to go back to the 1870 census in Minnesota to find Herbert/Bert with his parents. I am excited that it looks like I have found him. Hooray! I'll keep you all posted. Everyone has been very helpful.

The following obit appeared in my local newspaper a couple weeks ago. I am not researching this line, just thought it might help someone out. Marjorie Edna Woods-Russell-Colmer Sacramento, California December 30, 1913 - June 3, 2000 Marjorie Woods-Russell-Colmer, a retired employee of Contra Costa County, died in Red Bluff CA. She was 86. The native of San Francisco lived in Martinez and Richmond before moving to Sacramento eight years ago. Affiliations and hobbies: Christian Science, Jobs Daughters, gardening, knitting, and playing cards. Survivors: Sons, Charles Russell of Concord, Tom Colmer of Benicia and Dwight Russell of Rancho Cordova; nine grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren. Her husband, Tom, died in 1992, and her son Gary Allen Russell died in 1995. Services: were held. Arrangements by North Valley Crematorium, Red Bluff CA.

I am looking for the ancestry of Margaret Woods above. She married John McMillian in either Blount or Knox County TN on Apr 15, 1851. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone out there have a Wood child who rode the Orphan Train to the west mid to late 1800's? I would like to connect with you and see if we can put some pieces together. How about anyone whose Wood family adopted a child off the Orphan Trains? Thanks lequia@elite.net

Can anyone tell me where to begin looking for an ancestor if I know he was born in New York- but don't know his parents names? Do I have to look through the entire census for all Wood families? Is there a better idea? Are there any CD's with census records from 1840 or 50 NY? Are there any CD's with vital records from NY during the mid 1800's? How have other people been successful in searching New York? It is so big!!! I don't know where or how to start there- and it looks like my search has taken me there. Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated!
