( ) .-.,--^--. _ Good Morning Cook Cousins \\| `---' |// Come on in the coffee pot's on \| / _\___/_ Good Morning Family, A big welcome to our new members. Before long you will know everyone and feel comfortable. We are a unique group of people. We cry together and we laugh together, as we are truly one big happy family. The best part about us is the way we help each other. If you are new to the Internet, or new to genealogy, please do ask questions. Someone in this group has an answer to help you. We are all eager to see who your Cook's were so when you are ready, do post them. Please put your names and STATE in the subject line. You want everyone to know what's inside. :) More good news today! Two more states are being added to the list. California is now up and running and Texas is in the making. I can't say thank you enough to these people who are working to help bring the states project together. We now have California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. If you live in one of these states, will you volunteer to do lookups? There are many ways you can help. You might have books you can use or you might go to the different libraries and court houses. Anything you can do will be very much appreciated. If we all pull together we can all benefit from the project. Most of us are just inches away from finding our Cook's that we have searched for years for. This is an excellent way to bridge that gap so we can finally find them. Can I hear from you today that you will help? The project will work I guarantee it but it takes us all pulling together to do it. :) If you haven't been to our Cook Cooke Koch web page, do take a look.

BG I really enjoyed having coffee with you this morning, it was so nice! ( ) _.-~(~-. (@\`---'/. Ellie (' `._.' `) `-..___..-'
