Carole and Derek,

I have similar interests and my tree at ancestry.com might give you some bits and pieces.

Have accumulated a lot of data over last 4 weeks - some of the sources may need checking.

Hello,

Alexander Wood born 1810ish and married to Ann Sutherland is my great great great grandfather - sounds like you and I are 3rd cousins ?

I can send you a ged file if you like

Although there is a lot of data out there I do wonder about the accuracy of the 1700s stuff - I quite easily "hoovered up" a heap of people on that line on ancestry that got me back to mid 1600s.

Caroline,

I have sent you a Personal Message with my email address - if you let me know your own email address I can send you what information I have got so far,

The lady who started this thread will also have some info relevant to your tree.

There is another website that I can email you details of - the Pirie family tree they link up with us somewhere and there is a chap with a huge Pirie  tree that contains some Wood folk.

Regards

Bill
