Hello to our family and friends and welcome to the Hood Family Homepage!

      The Hood family website was created to share information with all of our friends.  Our home page is the entryway to some basic information pages about the entire family.  We live in the beautiful rolling hills of Spokane Valley, located in Washington State.  Jim works as a family dentist and has a very successful practice.  Karen works as a writer and operates a business out of our home and office locations.  Our children, Brianne, Marissa, Janelle, Mikayla, Kyler, Kelsey, Corby, Caleb, Devontay, Rosey and Mercedes all stay very busy with school work and their variety of extracurricular activities.  We also have the joy of having foster children in our home.

     This web site offers more than just personal information about our family members.  We also have a photo album, cookbook, a heritage site and the Hood and Matsko family tree. These pages are continually being updated.  One of the goals of this web site is conducting further research on the Hood family genealogy.  Do you have any information on our heritage and possible new relatives in faraway places?  Please let us know.  You can email us at: HoodFamilyTree@HoodFamily.com 

     We also have a family letter that we publish on the website several times per year. 

     Finally, we have a discussion forum.  Feel free to post your discussion on the board.  We welcome your input and opinions. Thank you all for coming to the Hood family web site!  We hope that you enjoy browsing through the many pages and features.

     We welcome you to the Hood family website. Please come back because we will be posting additional information on a regular basis.  If you have any Hood and Matsko family heritage or historical information, please contact us at: Info@HoodFamily.com.  We look forward to hearing from you.
