Message Board Post:
A Calderwood relative of mine, who was born in and grew up in Tyrone, PA, did the Scottish
search, traced the line to a castle in Scotland, and discovered that in past times the
peasants who worked the lands of the castle often took the name of the castle with them
when they moced on. Thus a Calderwood could be actually descended from the owners of the
castle, or could be descended from one of the peasants who moved on. There do seem to be
a lot of Calderwoods in various parts of Europe when one does a search on the name using
Ancestry.com.
