Wood Family History

 Some Brief Remarks

This site presents the ancestry of Sheryl Seigneur Wood, Ted's first wife.
 
No genealogical infomation is worthwhile if it is not documented with an adequate source citation.  For that reason, I have included my list of sources on this web site. Please be aware, however, that this page is very large (about 600 KB).  if you click on a source code number, it may take a while for the source page to load.  Sorry, but that's how it works....
 
I welcome correspondence on this family, including (of course) corrections or additions. I am happy to share this information with other genealogical researchers who are pursuing these same lines.
