Hi to all of our cousins!! It will be tough for all of us without Dale but I'm sure that he is in a much better place. He would be very proud that so many of his Hancock cousins have remembered and miss him. We all loved Dale. You are right Julia about "missing the ole days".......we shared everything and it was fun for all. Thanks Helene I only hope that my Isom M. Hancock b. c1918 in GA is connected to someone that you have found…. any clues appreciated. I’m still looking for the GA Hancock who could possibly be his father. I am excited to have my cousin Paul Hancock's DNA and with the help of Paul's wife Jane and cousin Raymond Kelly maybe we can now find those elusive Hancock ancestors. Happy New Year and let us begin…….again !! Odessa On Tue, Jan 1, 2013 at 7:28 AM, JULIAFWOOD@aol.com wrote: > It is go good to hear from so many of our Hancock (researcher) friends > on this list.

Happy New Year to all! Odessa, Have you ever looked at Francis Hancock as a possible father for your Isom? He was in the Augusta, GA area as early as 1765. He served in the Rev. War. Just a thought that he might be connected, as he seems to have kept a very low profile in GA.
