( ) .-.,--^--. _ Good Morning Cook Cousins \\| `---' |// Come on in the coffee pot's on \| / _\___/_ Good Morning Family, A big welcome to our new members. Before long you will know everyone and feel comfortable. We are a unique group of people. We cry together and we laugh together, as we are truly one big happy family. The best part about us is the way we help each other. If you are new to the Internet, or new to genealogy, please do ask questions. Someone in this group has an answer to help you. We are all eager to see who your Cook's were so when you are ready, do post them. Please put your names and STATE in the subject line. You want everyone to know what's inside. :) We have more good news this morning. Our chat room has been set up and next Sunday afternoon will be the 1st chat. I will have the instructions to show you how to get in on it. Anyone in the whole wide world who is searching for the surname Cook can come talk with us. I know this is the opportunity of a life time we needed to find more of our family. This is why I signed up up. I will get back with you on this. as soon as I get the instructions. Three non members found their way to our Cook homepage and they plan on joining our group. One of them found Cook bible records that matched theirs so they were quite excited. Getting our name circulated on the web is paying off. If any of you know of a new place to add our name do let me know about it. I do hope to hear from you saying you want to host a state for our new state project. This is a very worth while project to help us find our lost family. I can't think of anything more important! I've really had a good time looking for information for the Oklahoma page. We have the world at our finger tips thru the Internet and it's so easy to find things. Do check out the pages for the states already up. I know these members would love to hear from you saying you will help volunteer to do look ups. Today is the day to spring forward. Not only with our clocks but to spring into action and help each other find our families. What a way to share!! Happy Easter! If you haven't been to our Cook Cooke Koch web page, do take a look. Check out the Attic for new records.
