As far as this blog, the Atwoods of interest are primarily my own Atwoods, but covers other families as well. Brown, McIntosh, LaRoche, Fatio, Schley, Welsman, and other families as discovered as part of my family.
Our Atwoods include those emigrating to New England in the colonial period and further migration to Georgia in the 19th Century, intermarrying with families of the colonial and federal period of Georgia, with ties back to Switzerland, Holy Roman Empire (now Germany, for example), Italy, France, Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland (among others undoubtedly). Most of us in America who are multiple generation, new Americans, are mutts in some form or another.
Where are our touchstones in America? Massachusetts and then Connecticut are the landing places of our earliest American Atwoods. Plymouth, MA onward to Wethersfield (Hartford), CT, and on to Darien/Valona/Cedar Point, these all in coastal Georgia, on to Waycross, GA and Atlanta.
Other ancestors covered in this site hailed from various points in Europe landing in Philadelphia, Charleston, Savannah (photo), Saint Augustine, and surely other locales in colonial or early America.
