Maybe I can help a little: I just talked to my mother who said her mom (Maggie would be her mom's aunt) told her many years ago that the COOK's in Zion, IL (Lake County) were related to her (as were EVANS in Zion). Zion, is just north of the town I live in, however, after going through a phone book (dated about 5 yrs ago), I found over 40 COOK names. If you have family first names that seem to repeat, let me know, and I'll see if they appear in Zion. More now, than ever, I'm sure the Maggie COOK you found is mom's mother's sister. Barbara
