I have joined the list in the hope of finding someone who may have done some work on, or may be descended from, Cooks in Ireland. The small amount of work I have done, would make it appear that there may have been four different branches here in the sixteen hundreds. The ones I am interested in lived in Tipperary, where Phanuel Cook married Ann Langley circa 1680. There is a scarcity of records in this country, and any information can only be gleaned by pouring through books and documents for weeks. Hence my query to the list. Cheers, Peter in Ireland.

Hi all: I am a new subscriber to the COOK list. My great-grandparents Patrick COOKE and Ann SMITH were married in Dublin City in 1870. Their first child James COOKE was born in Cootehill, Co. Cavan in 1871. By 1874 the family were living in Manchester, England and had several more children: Mary Ann, Catherine, Margaret and Susanna. By 1891 for some as yet unknown reason, the family was using the name O'REILLY/RILEY. Would be happy to hear from anyone who can make a connection. Many thanks! Catherine, Barrie, Ontario

I have several Canadian COOPERs who married COOKs and COOKEs. Anybody researching the COOPER/COOK(E) connections in Canada? Annie

Only after losing one's address book does a person realize that a card file is important also. I learned this from firsthand experience.

Milli, Could you please give the URL to the above mentioned sight. I was unable to find it. Thanks In Advance, Dena

Thought I'd let everyone know that I have again added a few updates and additions to the Cook Surname pages: I am in the process of indexing the pages so that a look up feature on the pages will work - It could take a little while. A page that is a must see is my growing collection of death certificates that list mother and father and cemetery. A wonderful volunteer at the Ballard / Carlisle County Gen Socieity has been printing off these for a small fee to the gen society. I update this pages often. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cookdeathinformation.html Another area that would be interesting to address are the war records / service records of the Cook so: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cookcivilwar.html I've added some Trigg County census information: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cooktrigg.html All census information is posted to the year - such as cook1850.html and to the county such as cookcalloway.html I am still missing several years and counties but many folks have been sending census information and this has grown a great deal. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cookcens.html I have about 20 e-mails to convert to html, and additions to make to the researcher page. I'll try to keep you informed of my progress. Pat & lots of helpers!

Here's another great site if you have COOK family out of OH: http://www.pcdl.lib.oh.us/miami/index.htm There are hundreds of COOKs listed. This is just an index but it has some great information listed. Enjoy!

Thought you would all be interested in this little notice, Bill http://newsnet.byu.edu/noframes/show_story.cfm?number=8836 LDS Church to go online with family history Web site By KATIE PARKER parker@du2.byu.edu NewsNet Staff Writer The Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is working to make genealogical files accessible from a family history Web site. Elaine Hasleton, a public affairs representative from the Family History Center in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, said the Web site is in its developmental stages. The project is underway, however Hasleton said no set completion date has been given. The ancestral files of the LDS Church will most likely be accessible from the site, said Craig Foster, a spokesman for the family history center's public affairs projects. Foster said the details of what other files and information will be accessible from the site is not final. "We are all excited about the future for family history," said Jana Darrington, 21, a senior from Mesa, Ariz., majoring in family history. "Making a Web site for family history seems like a logical thing for the LDS Church to do ... It would be a dream to be able to work out of my home. I can work for as long as I want, whenever I want." -- Lynda Cameron, Provo, regular HBLL Family History Center patron As the department assistant for the Harold B. Lee Library's family history department, Darrington said many people have asked about the possibility of family history files going online. "This will make things much more available for the patrons and make genealogy work widely known," she said. Darrington expects the number of people going to family history centers to naturally decline once the files become available from home. "But I'm sure the elderly who don't feel comfortable using the Internet will still make use of the facilities," Darrington said. Lynda Cameron of Provo visits the HBLL Family History Center at least once a week, sometimes more. "Making a Web site for family history seems like a logical thing for the LDS Church to do," Cameron said. Cameron is originally from Australia, where her father, Keith Williams, still resides. She said they are both working on genealogy for their family continents apart. "This will really open information up for my father and make things more available for everyone," Cameron said. "It would be a dream to be able to work out of my home. I can work for as long as I want, whenever I want." Darrington also mentioned that this new project with family history will introduce many non-members to the LDS Church. "There are many people who work on family history that are not Mormon," she said. Many of them already use LDS family history departments, and with the future Web site many more will become familiar with the LDS Church, Darrington said.

Hi, I was doing a search of the National Archives at monitor.nara.gov.80 I used NAIL standard search typed in Koch in the keyword box and came up with 70 hits. Starting with hit # 20 there are Kochs from Kansas that had to file Enemy Alien Registration Affidavits during WWI. There's info on them as to places of birth in Germany, photos, dates of birth etc. Hope this helps someone. Contact me if you have trouble finding it. Milli
