After being pastor of Central Congregational Church of New Orleans, Louisiana for eight years, and Senior Minister of Plymouth United Church of Christ-Congregational, Detroit, Michigan for 25 years; I decided not to write a book about my rewarding and exciting years of ministry; but I would gather as many photos and written stories about my life and that of members of my family, and put all of that material into a web site which would be available to anyone who had a computer. I decided that I would search out the family stories that are usually hidden away in a trunk, file cabinet or some other storage area which is seen, unless the information is sought for a funeral program.
I decided that I would collect as much family information as possible and publish it on the World-Wide Webb, so that such family material would be available for anyone to see at any time they desired. This web site is about the Daisy and Orestes Hood family, beginning with a family tree going back one generation.
