Wood Family Genealogy
Genealogy (from Greek: genea, "family"; and logos, "knowledge").
Originally the "Wood" family name was used to describe a person who lived in or worked in a wood or forest and therefore lived outside the village, hamlet or town.
Obviously forests and woods covered a much larger percentage of England and the United Kingdom in the past and so it is not that surprising that the surname of Wood is the 15th most common surname in Britain. Smith and Jones are 1st and 2nd respectively.
