Hi   Do you know if your Joseph Cook had a son or brother named George?  My great-grandfather's application for naturalization (1868 in Philadelphia) lists a George Cook as his character reference.   Just thought it was worth asking.....you never know where you'll find a connection in this line of "work"!   SallyAnn McChesney Ohio, USA a --- On Sun, 4/12/09, Lyn McLeavy <lynmc@dodo.com.au> wrote: From: Lyn McLeavy <lynmc@dodo.com.au> Subject: [CoTyIre] Joseph Cook, Philadelphia, c.1849 To: cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, April 12, 2009, 3:29 AM All I know is that Joseph had a sister Jane Cook.  Groves seems to be perhaps their mother's name.  Jane was sentenced during the famine to transportation to Australia in 1849 and said she had a brother Joseph Cook in Philadelphia.  She was born in Co. Tyrone c.1824.  That's really all I know about him but I am trying to find their town/village of origin.  I know its a long shot and maybe impossible through him but I thought I'd see. thanks, Lyn ------------- Our community web-site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cotyroneireland ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to COTYRONEIRELAND-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
