Surnames: Cook, Mintzer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BZ.2ADI/664 Message Board Post: My grandfather, Royal Cook, was enumuerated in the federal cenus in Gainesville in 1900 as a widower with 5 children, and again in 1910 married to Sadie (Mintzer) with 3 different children. I was unable to locate any record of their marriage. Royal, Sadie and 2 of the older children were all born in Russia. If he was naturalized while in Florida, where would I write for the record? Was there a Jewish community in Gainesville at that time? would appreciate any clues. Thank you, Marietta Wellman, Alturas, CA
