About the Project
The Atwood Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Atwood name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Atwood name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Atwood's), by time period (18th Century Atwood's), or by topic (Atwood DNA, Atwood Occupations, Atwood Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

For example, I do not know much about Joseph H. Attwood (Attwood-456). Before today, all I knew is that he was the father of a Washington State Attwood. But, today I learned he was born in Missouri, but resided for some time in Kansas (many of his children were born there). Also, his father was reportedly born in Canada.
For Joseph, would we use the geographic Attwood tag Missouri, or Kansas? Is it okay to have one profile have multiple geographic tags? What do you think?!
