I looked at this person's home page and it looks like he is a serious genealogist, so I think that link is a joke, too. Linda Garrett

Hi Everyone, Our States Project is coming right along! We now have 3 states that are up and running, and I can't tell you how excited I am over this. I want you to get excited also and join in adopt a state. :) It's a lot of fun watching your state come together, knowing you are going to help someone off this list. (Hopefully yourself) also. A member from Ohio wrote this morning and says she can't make a web page but she will help with getting information on it. So how about it OHIO members, let me hear from you. I'm going to show you all where I got the music Oklahoma for my page and the state flag. Do go look these genealogy sites over and pick a song and flag for your state. I know once you get started you will really have a good time gathering information. You will be surprised how much your state has to offer about genealogy that you did not know about... <A HREF="http://www.vikimouse.com/gen/us/us.htm">STATE MOTTOS</A> <A HREF="http://www.laurasmidiheaven.simplenet.com/statesongs.htm">STATE SONGS MIDI AND LYRICS</A> You are welcome to go to our pages and Copy our ideas! :) <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cookmain.html"> KENTUCKY</A> <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/4665/ncstate.html">NORTH CAROLINA</A> <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/CookCooke/stateoklahoma.html">OKLAHOMA</A> Ellie

Hi Cook Researchers, I just found out that my COOK ancestors probably came from Chautauqua Co., New York. I have been searching for many years for the ancestry of Florella Cook, b. 1844, in NY. Florella had a sister Roxanne and two brothers, George and Charles, that I know about. The two sisters married two KERN brothers, Edward and Levi. Edward and Florella lived in Norfolk, Ontario, Canada before moving back to the US after the Civil War and eventually settling for a time in Neosho Co., KS in the 1870s. They settled there because Florella's two brothers were already there. I just got a clue from a bio on a gentleman whom I think is Florella's brother, Charles B. Cook, who was living in Neosho Co., KS in the 1880s when the biography was written. Here is an excerpt: "C.B. Cook, farmer, . . . is a native of Chautauqua County, N.Y., born in 1826. He was of a large family of boys. His father kept them busy clearing timber farms, which he sold, and in 1842, they moved to Canada, where their timber was pine, and they went to lumbering, passing through the exciting experience incident to that life. In December, 1867, he came to Kansas with his brother George, who had preceded him, and he held a claim for him, but on account of the Osage ceded land troubles did not succeed in deeding his land until 1877." This is from William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas, published in 1883. There are a few wrinkles to iron out but I think it is my family. Does anyone have information on these COOKs? Sincerely, Daniela

Does anyone have any connections, links, or additional data/knowledge about this branch of the COOK line? I thought there might be some connection to Captain James Cook RN, because the good Captain's wife lived in Sittingbourne, Kent, where other ancestors of mine came from.

This is from William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas, published in 1883. There are a few wrinkles to iron out but I think it is my family. Does anyone have information on these COOKs? Sincerely, Daniela

Hi All... This is at the Nebraska usgenweb site listed under Military. Ellie ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ne/state/military/roster/1893ill1.txt 1893 Roster of Nebraska Veterans Illinois Enlistees.

Hi Family, I'm posting this again to help us learn to fill out the subject line on our posts. We are really getting good!! :) Ellie This is our simple and easy rules or styles of posts that will assist us all in getting what we want out of the COOK list: I can't stress enough the importance of the team work it's going to take to make this system work. Rule or Post #1: COOK: Give Short Description.....Definition: COOK genealogy ONLY. Queries and Charts. For the source documentation, post it if you have it, or you may say that they can contact you. Rule or Post #2: HISTORY: Give Short Description.....Definition: Background history of the COOK surname or COOK general history. For the source documentation, post it if you have it, or you may say that they can contact you. Rule or Post #3:CHAT: Give Short Description.....Acknowledgments, greetings, well-wishes, holiday greetings, chit chat for members of the list. This includes responding to a post for example like the happy99 virus. Rule or Post #4: ANNOUNCEMENTS: Give Short Description....Home Pages, Web Sites, and any records you want to post. A typical Subject Line might look like: [COOK-L] :COOK: My William COOK bo.1812 Oh [COOK-L] HISTORY: Francis COOK crossing on the Mayflower [COOK-L] CHAT: Merry Christmas [COOK-L] ANNOUNCEMENTS: Cyndi Howell site. With these four simple rules or posts each of you can now select which ones that you wish to read and which ones you wish to delete. As always, if you have any complaints you can send them to me at: Stephens61@aol.com or Lisa at: LClevers@bellsouth.net This system is only as good as those who participate in it so please do the courtesy of keeping your posts designed. Our subject lines are looking much better! It's really for our benefit that we learn to fill them out so members can tell exactly what's inside. We have members who will not read a query if it doesn't give information. So I wonder how many of you aren't getting your query read? Maybe you haven't sent one in a long time because you didn't get any replies. I hope you can think up a good subject line and resend it. The main thing is that we want to catch someone's eye! With the bingo's we have had on this list, I know someone is doing something right. Let's practice :) I was so proud of the way we conducted ourselves! We did need to know about the happy99 e-mail. I hope next time we can get the subject line in it's right place. If we do this...no one can complain about the extra posts that are being sent in. Why? because no one HAS to read Chat. Read below the description of Chat and you will get a better idea of what I am trying to accomplish for our list. Chat is just what it is...chat nothing more. If we learn to stay within our guidelines, we are safe. No one has the right to say anything back to you because you filled the subject line out with CHAT first. Let's really start using the Courtesy Rules so we are always in the right.
