If your name is Hawgood, you are a member of a select and exclusive club. No doubt when growing up, you would not have known many other Hawgoods apart from your immediate family. This is because there are relatively few descendents of the first Hawgood that can be traced.
This site contains the family tree of the Hawgoods since 1500, built from public records, internet records, and family knowledge from Hawgoods participating in this endeavour. The early records were researched over many years by David Hawgood, who has an extensive database of birth, marriage records etc at http://www.hawgood.co.uk/Ons/pr.htm. We are adding to the family tree all the time and would be very pleased to hear from any Hawgoods - especially those from far flung reaches of the globe.

Hawgood family DNA study - can you help?
Putting together a family tree is not easy particularly as there are gaps in records. Instead of painstaking research of old paperwork, a modern way to connect lines is to test for genetic markers. We have commenced a study Hawgood family study of ancestral markers and would welcome participants. The more that take part, the more accurately we can predict common ancestors and connections between broken lines in the tree.
A interesting by-product of this testing is that previously unknown connections can be made to similar or indeed dissimilar surnames. For example, a number of UK based Allgoods appear to have their descent from William Hawgood born 1684 in Little Harrowden, whose name was misspelt and it seems then carried down. Similarly, we have matched descendents of a Haygood living in the USA to Hawgood DNA.
