My COOK's connect with several others in Ohio. In pursuing my research, I picked up all the COOKs around Hancock County just to find out if they were my line plus I also kept all the lines I got over the net from other Cook reseachers hoping to tie loose ends. I am pleased to share what information I have with other Cook researchers. I am a direct descendant of Dwight COOK who married in Seneca county, Ohio and raised 5 children in Hancock County, Ohio.
