| The Search for Walter
Woodworth's England Origin ... John Brennan's Trip Reports:
In 1999, John Brennan of NY and member of the Rootsweb Woodworth
genealogy list, went to England on business and did some research on
Walter in his spare time. He found two Walter Woodwards in the
Gloucestershire/Liverpool/Cheshire area around 1606 who could possibly
have been a parent of our Walter, but nothing beyond a possibility. His
"trip report" research and conclusions are in the Rootsweb archives at

WOODWORTH MANUSCRIPT available through LDS Unpublished Walter Woodworth manuscripts
Maurice Woodworth, James Pearce, and Jeanette Behan released
unpublished manuscripts sometime in the late 1970s or or early 1980s at
locations around the US that form the basis of Jeanette's book, but to
which she later added much more information and updated material in her
Volume 1. What is different from her book is that her Volume 1 listed
generations 1-6, and the manuscripts covered generations 1 through 12 in
separate volumes based on the sons of Walter. Susan Moore lists
here the information regarding those manuscripts. These can be ordered
as "loaners" from Salt Lake City to local LDS history centers: |
