To Skip and R.A. Cook: I saw with interest your messages. I dont believe there is any connection here. I just had to reply because of the coincidences in names as just a matter of interest. I, myself, have always been called Skip too. Also in my Family Tree I am descendant from William STRAIGHT, loyalist from East Greenwich, R.I. He married a Mary CARR there in 1762 prior to moving to New Brunswick in 1770. The last coincidence! My surname is COOK! Regards, Ed (Skip) Cook, Edmonton Alberta, Canada
