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.
