We will have a digital camera, lap top computer, and scanner. We would like the old photos of individuals or group family photos and some present day ones also especially if they can't attend. Obits wedding birth or death announcements are also very important for filing in the pieces. Do you have a pile of unidentified pictures? Bring them along too. Maybe we can find family resemblances!

The following are the 50 or more count of surnames in the Norwood family lines. We have accumulated over 13,500 descendents of Capt. John Norwood of Maryland and each year we add thousands. And we also dont have all the branches input yet.

Kinzie (50), Davis (53), Green (55), Gibbons (57), Gartrell (59), Hyatt (59), Darby (61), Miller (61), Purdum (61), VanSant (62), Mullinix (64), Falconer (65), Brown (66), Fahner (66), DeVilbiss (72) , Thompson (86), Browning (87), King (87), Burdette (89), Hood (96), Mitchell (97), Beall (110), Ford (111), Baker (133), Conaway (134), Smith (134), Brandenburg (150), Hobbs (157), Ridgely (159), Bosley (167), Day (212), Wivell (221), Watkins (267), Moxley (295)

Because so few of Capt. Norwoods descendents carry his surname (only 1000 or so), this reunion has evolved into an old families of Maryland reunion especially the families of Frederick, Montgomery, Carroll, Howard--(the four corners area) and Anne Arundel. But we touch just about every other county in Maryland and Washington DC too!

Do you have a relative who happens to have the first name or middle name of Norwood? Wonder where it came from? Maybe they are descendent from a female branch of Norwood. Do you have a great female relation with no surname?

My 6th great-grandmother was Elizabeth Norwood who married Nehemia Moxley. At past reunions I have met Beall and Watkins who are closer in relationships to me and we come from different Norwoods.

PLEASE COME AND JOIN USEVEN IF YOU ARE JUST A GENEALOGY FANATIC IN THE AREA.

The rest of us are certifiable. The treatment is meeting others that are of like spirit.
