Hi Cook/e cousins, Here is a web page I came across today. It is called The Political Graveyard. The URL is at the bottom of this email message. It lists all politicians and where they were born, held office and died. Here is the Cook list. They are listed by surnames. There is quite a bit of information on these pages, I found it very interesting to look at. Enjoy!
