Hi Carman,
It could be that the symbolism of 'the greenwood tree' is a memory that was taken from Britain by emigrants. In many old English villages the centre of the village life was the 'green', a patch of open grass. Usually you would find a large tree in or near the centre of these 'greens', and this was where villagers would meet and discuss their grievances, hold 'councils' etc; and it therefore became the symbol of freedom. I'm really, honstly, no joking, glad that you've found this picture. Finding your 'roots' was one of the things that drove you to move back east I guess and I know that it meant a lot to you.
