About Rood / Jenkins Family Tree
The direct Rood (Root; Roit) family line has been traced back to Mordechai ben Roit born in Germany in 1640. The English branch of this family started in December 1859 when Levie Moses and Ester Rood emigrated from Amsterdam to London's east end with their three youngest children. Some relatives went to Australia (there are Rood families in Melbourne and other cities) and others went to South Africa. Some family lines show connections to Spain and Portugal and the huguenots in 17th centuary Montauban, France and of course, London, England.
The Jenkins branch has been traced back to the 18th Century in Wales.
In tracing the Rood family line I am indebted to following people who have provided invaluable help in tracing so far back: William Noordanus (The Netherlands); Julian Rood (Australia); Thomas Rood (Chigwell, England; Susan Horncastle (Jenkins).
I hope that you enjoy looking at this facinating insight to our family. Please keep me informed of changes so we can make sure that the information is as up to date as possible.
