I have a very massive file of my Coopers including my grx4 grandfather's brother who stayed in England. This spring I was able to find living relatives in Essex and surrounding counties. It was so exciting. >> We also have a massive file, 3,019 people last time I checked, and still growing. Would you be willing to trade some info and see if we can connect and well as help each other sort COOPERs? How far back have you gotten on your COOPERs? As I said, we have gotten back to abt 1734 in Kent, England. Our COOPERs now cover 4 continents and about 8 countries. Most of the English COOPERs that we have been able to find so far were born in Kent, but some moved to Essex and in the fourth generation of our direct line, 5 of 10 siblings immigrated, 2 to Canada, 2 to the U.S., one to Australia. We also have another woman who married and immigrated to New Zealand. At this time we have 11 generations on our COOPER family and 11 on one of the collateral families and 12 generations on a second collateral family. I would be willing to exchange the first four generations in England as a start, if you would. Annie
