Ancestors of John Woods
I have been researching my family for a little while now and managed to
generate some substantial family trees. Having reached this stage it seems that
now is a good time to publish this information, hence this website. I have
opted to only publish details of those ancestors that are deceased in order to
protect the identity of those still living.
Table of Contents

Williams Family
Williams - William's (son). William - Beloved Helm(et). Wilhelm and
Willelm figure in Anglo-Saxon genealogies but the name was not common. It owes
its popularity to the first two post-Conquest rulers who are referred to in the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicles as Willelm.
Beeforth Family
Brown Family
Brown/Browne - Of dark reddish complexion. [M.E. br(o)un]. Brun was
a fairly common name among the Anglo-Saxons. Brown(e) is sometimes an
Anglicization of the German Braun and French Brun.
