Hi- I really enjoy all the enthusiasm of the members of the COOK list. I am just outside of San Francisco, CA, and a short drive from NARA San Bruno and Sutro library. I can't get there very often (I have 3 kids- one an 8 month old baby) but can easily check a California Death Index..... so am glad to help where I can. Here are my COOK(E)s-so far: Patrick COOK(E) married Anne Curreen-1830's,Galway their son- Thomas COOK b. 1834, Rahoon,Galway,Irl + Mary FEENEY (married 1855) Children: 1. Patrick m.Mary CONNOLLY....Mary(1886),John(1887),Thomas(1892),Patrick(1894),Michael(1895), Martin(1897),Della(1900),Kathleen (1902) 2. John m. Mary ?....children John, and ? 3.Mary m. Thomas DUNNE...children-Michael(1894),John,Mary(Mamie) Mary Feeney Cook, and her adult children and their families moved to the San Francisco area about 1880-1890. We can't confirm if Thomas came as well.....the family thrived in the Bay Area, despite the death of Mary Cook Dunne and her brother Patrick bet 1900-1905. Mary herself died in 1904, and the over time the decendants lost contact. We are reconstructing events as best we can, considering the state of records in Ireland, and pre 1906 records in San Francisco! The Galway Family History Society has been delightful, we hope to have more info soon! Im enjoying my search, glad to help others, and hope to find new leads!....Thank You, Kirsten
