Hello I am new to the list and to looking for my family. My g grandfathers name is Thomas Wayne Allen and he was born in Cumberland Maryland. And I have on his death cert. that his mother and fathers names are Thomas Wayne Allen and Jennie Cook. G Granddaddy Tom was born on Dec. 25, 1858. And that is all that I have. I am at a brick wall. I have no idea where gg granddaddy and gg grandma Jennie are buried. I know that Thomas and his wife Minnie are in Virginia for awhile because my grandfather was born there. And that they later moved to West Virginia. Any help on this family would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Ivy Woodby Elizabethton, Tn.

Mike, when you have a minute and if you know, could you give me names of your Isaac's family still in Union Co. SC in 1790 & 1800 censuses? This would help me separate which is your line from those I know are mine (John & Sarah Fulton Cook line, PA, Ireland).

I keep forgetting to mention this. I was reading a Web site link called Cyndi's List, or something to that effect. She had links posted to visit to search out genealogy stuff. Anyway, she mentioned something that I had thought about, but I didn't know you could actually do this, and that is, writing the FBI for records of family. I think you have to choose one family member, and request all the records that they have. I think anything over 125 pages or so is something that you have to pay for, so at least enclose a check for $25. She said that they have just about all the records on anyone in their files and it can be used for genealogy purposes, although she said that most people are paranoid about writing the FBI, but they do have a division that does this believe it or not. I thought about it because I have a very old typewritten letter from my Uncle Curtis Cook who passed away in '71 in Wichita Falls, TX. At the time that he typed this letter to a relative, he was an editor of a newspaper there. And in the letter he mentions some family tree information that some Cooks in our family had that traced us back to England. He said the Secret Service investigated his son, Carroll Cook, because his son went to work for the AP and was at various times overseas doing some kind of correspondence work that could end up being secret or something like that. And that anytime that happens, your family line is totally investigated. Now I'm wondering if I should try this. Maybe this is kind of a stupid question, but is the Secret Services basically the same thing as the FBI? Regardless, the FBI should have something, I suppose. Thanks, Susie

I have a feeling we are not from the same branch of the Cooks but our name similarity and your feelings about where your people are from leads me to at least make this contact. We have traced our branch of the Cooks back to probably the Mary and John ship which came over from England in 1630, as I remember it. I am not now where I can check it. They came into Boston, and migrated to Windsor and other Ct and NY sites, finally winding up in Dutchess and Columbia counties, NY. Nowhere in all this do I see either Gurdon or Norman Cook. However, you seem more into the genealogy business than I am and maybe you may find some connection. I am willing to give you more information on my side. By the way, my gedcom is on rootsweb under my name. All my info is there. Alan Cook

My ancestors, (Elisha Cook's son Horace, his wife and mother}, also came to Clinton County, IA in the 1840's. We think Elisha was born in CT. His wife Hannah was born in CT in 1776. They went to Oneida County, NY and finally to Erie County, PA., where Elisha is listed in the 1830 census. Do you think there is any connection at all?

I maintain a database of NH Cooks, if anyone is looking for a NH (some Maine) connection. My Cooks were definitely Quakers. At least part of the family was. Some later became Baptists. I found members of my direct line listed as witnesses in the Quaker records in RI. Please write if you're interested in the NH families.

Elnora, Thanks for the e-mail. The problem is that at least 10 of the lines shown on the Cook DNA page could possibly be the missing link for my one and only Cook. Unfortunately, the paper trail for most of these seems to be off limits. My Cook ancestor was a woman who was apparently married in Orange County, NC about 1780. She and her husband moved to Bedford County, TN in the very early 1800s and died there. Since this is not an all male line, I cannot participate in the Cook DNA testing and don't know of an all male Cook line from the original immigrant to the present.

Looking for David and Susan (no maiden name known) Cook who lived in Rensselaer County, NY. Children were: Levi/Levy born 11 Nov 1832 died 11 Mar 1914 Oskaloosa, IA; Melissa Cook; Mary Cook; and David M. Cook, all born in NY. Levi Cook came to Iowa approximately 1850-1860 and married Mary Elizabeth Hart on 26 Aug 1856 in Mahaska County, IA. When Levi and his sister Melissa came to Iowa, they came with Isaac Cook and his wife Lucy. Can't confirm if this was a brother/uncle, etc. Believe Isaac Cook to have been born in Massachussets. Levi and Mary had 2 children: Nelson Jerome Cook and Edward Monroe Cook both born and died in Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, IA.

I am looking for information on George Cook who was born about 1760 in Lancaster Co, PA and died in Somerset Co, PA about 1849. He married Rachel Troutman and they are buried in the White Oak Church Cemetery in Larimer Twp. Thanks Margaret
