Hi ya, first off. I haven't posted on here yet (at least I dont think so, could be old age though I might have) Anyways I wanted to say Hi to everybody. The Cook Im researching is my Great Grandfather Joel C. COOK married to a Dora Mae DUNN in Miller county Ark. on Oct 26th of 1893. Pretty much from what I gather (when the blood is talkin that is) most of my COOKs are from the Ark-la-tex area, (Shreveport LA, Bradley Ark, Texarkana, etc..) Its said my Grandfather John Franklin COOK was born in Ida, La (its one of those small towns that only a hair away from the Ark border) b. 1904(5 maybe) d. 1991 in S'port, La. If'n anyone happens ta cross the name though, I'd appreciate ya droppin me a line (an a cup of coffee too) :) As it is the knowledge on Joel C. COOK around here (blood wise) ain't much, (well besides bein the name on my Grandpa's death cert. as bein his pop) Thank Bunches C. Gail Kenney <--- the only coconut in the pecan tree... :)
