Hey Cook Cousins, I've been lurking for a few weeks in hopes that maybe someone would mention a COOK I could relate to! No such luck. So time to spread my family around a little (a little, only because I know so little). Nathaniel COOK born in VT, ca 1810-25; married: Jerima Sprague, also born VT son: Alvin Joseph COOK born March 12, 1844 in VT married: Ellen McELROY in Waukasha WI abt 1870 the following children were born: Rose E. COOK, b. 10/1876, in WI Alvin W. COOK, b. 3/1874, in WI and then the family moved to Ionia Co. MI where Rose & Alvin married and continued the family tradition of having more children! I would like to learn more about the elder Cooks (Nathaniel & Jerima) as well as any additional information that anyone may and have and be willing to share. I thank you for taking the time to read this -- and look forward to "many, many" replies :) Diane Decker-Warneke Michigan mailto:warneke@wingsisp.com
