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.
