Names the Hookins Family have links with

Hookins Family Trees don't contain people who have always been or who will necessarily always be Hookins. Some people are very fortunate to marry into the family!!! Others have adopted the name and still others get married - like my 2 daughters - and take on another name. But all of those people in my records - more than 1630 - are linked to the name past, present or future and this will contimue to evolve. Needless to say therefore that it isn't just people who currently hold the Hookins name who can provide useful information about the Hookins Family History. My most recent new contact who was very helpful in this respect married a Hookins lady and lives in Canada where there are others still holding the Hookins name or have descended from a Hookins.
So these other names are important to help understand how all the Hookins people fit together and are a very help source of knowledge. I have recently been through my records and have compiled a list of surnames with which we have or are connected and they total 457 although some are duplicated and I am going to upload this to the blog and keep it updated so that people other than the current Hookins may also be aware of this and maybe share information which will be mutually beneficial.

Trees Updated

All the Family Trees according to my records as at 7th August 2012 have now been updated and an up to date list of the "miscellaneous members" not linked to specific Trees has been included.
It should be noted that after communications with Jim in America two Trees are being amalgamated. I am in the process of transferring data from Tree 2S to Tree I after which Tree 2S will be deleted.
The up to date Trees incorporate some of the additional information I have obtained during the year so far from the various Census returns I have been going through. This task is still proceeding and the next update will hopefully include all of these changes.
