The Woodforde Family |
Family pedigrees are always constructed for a purpose, sometimes to prove ownership of land or property
or to demonstrate lineage prior to marriage. This pedigree simply
provides a line of descent through twentyfour generations from the earliest known member of the family to
the owner of this website. The connections between generations 8 to 10
inclusive require further verification.
