Has the researcher looking for his COOK family in Southern England taken a DNA test to help identify COOK links?
I am researching my COOK ancestors in the Maidstone/Medway area 1840 backwards.
I would certainly back up other comments regarding regional migration, one branch that involves my COOK/COOKE family were moving around the home counties in connection with the papermaking industry, one part of the family from Norfolk, but found in the various mill sites In Surrey, Sussex and Kent, between 1820 onwards.
