I am also researching COOPERs in Ontario, but they do not connect yet unless the connection is in England. However, many of the given names are the same. Our first COOPER of record married in Ingtham, Kent, England in 1769. His name was also Thomas. The family spread from there and as we have it now covers 4 continents and 6 or 8 countries.
