WOODFORD OH>IL
This is the toughest surname for my research and I hope someone can help me.Legends have it that my WOODFORD were pirates during their time and came to the US in hiding.This can explain why it is so hard to trace this clan.
Anyway, below is what I have so far.If anyone is closely related, I would love to hear from you ([email protected]).
Thanks,
