Too bad you are leaving. I have had two major hits from mailing lists within the past six months. One list took me from the 1850's back to England and the 1500's. Now my work on documentation is cut out for me, but if it hadn't been for mailing lists I would still be searching just for a lead. While I am at it, my elusive Cooks are my ggrandfather: Richard Cook (b. Corydon, IN) m. Barbara Denton 5/22/1876 in Harrison Co., IN. Children: Benjamin Ray Cook (my gfather) b. 9/4/1886 in Bruceville, Know Co., IN. d. 4/28/1950 Bloomington, IN. Other sibs were listed in Benjamin's 1950 obit as still living: Ola Cook-Pickle (Bicknell, IN) Cora Cook-Smith (Washington, IN., and William Cook (Lafayette, IN.) Now family stories indicate this Cook family may have migrated from AL. ---------- > From: DuteClay@aol.com > To: COOK-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [COOK-L] Mississippi / Alabama/ North Carolina/Virginia > Date: Thursday, April 15, 1999 8:18 PM > > Is anyone on this list searching for COOKs in these locations (MS - AL - NC - > VA)?
