List members: If there is anyone on the list researching the Van Hook family, you may want to contact the Louisiana Tech Library Special Collections department. I sometimes browse the Special Collections departments at Colleges and Universities in the areas I am researching families. I fount the following collection located at Tech: Special Collection Number M7 Thomas Van Hook (1814-1857), Family Papers, 1844-1929 Papers of Hook, an early settler of Union Parish; clerk of court, Union Parish; member of Louisiana State Legislature, 1855-1857. Correspondence, legal and business records. 14 Items. Shawn Martin
