Thank you for reminding me of our roots.ca…just reread the Cooke entries and refreshed my memory. About 4 years ago there was a Cooke-Sanderson family reunion in Kelowna, BC…for that occasion I had prepared a family history binder with information gleaned from Ancestry, FamilySearch and the local history book, A Tapestry of Time.
The Irish connection was being explored this weekend as some Irish records were free on Ancestry…and ultimately, that lead me here. It is the eldest son, William James, who is related by marriage, for whom I was doing the research.
With aloha,
Alice
