What I find so interesting is that even though I am researching COOPERs in England and Canada I find the same names connected with them as are connected to the U.S. COOPERs. SMITH, BROWN, BARRETT, RUSSELL are connected with my families in both England and Canada, while BUTCHER is connected with them in Australia and THOMPSON is connected with them in England.
