The above is or is not an accurate Coat
of Arms for the Yarwod
name. It is what is found on several website searches. I liked it
and have had a flag and license plate made.
Welcome to The Yarwoods website
Much of the material and information here was prepared by William R. Yarwood (Bill) of Anaheim CA. Bill started in the 1970's collecting and sending out letters and notes [YARWOOD NOTES] about the Yarwood family. Bill is no longer with us, but we owe a great deal of thanks for collecting and distributing much of this material.
Further, I must thank my Aunt Dorothy Gertude (Yarwood) Rolfs/Emmons, who provided information for the YARWOOD NOTES. Dorothy also published letters and documents herself.
This website will focus on YARWOOD GENEALOGY in general. Below is the George & Maria Yarwood descendants. George W.
