Jethco

My genealogy has revealed a few centuries of Scottish involvement. My ancestors had emigrated from several different corners of Europe but once in England (which is where they got their surname "Cooke") they fled the King's wrath to Scotland. They did not return to England for a few centuries and after they did they eventually made the trek to the US where they planted roots in the Rockies and changed our surname from "Cooke" to "Cook".

I have also only ever heard that Jackson County, Missouri was the final reunion grounds. On a similar note, I have also heard people tell me that it is so because Jackson County, Missouri was allegedly home to the garden of Eden. I have not run across any doctrinal evidence to either support or dispute such claims.

Hello! My name pretty much everywhere on the internet is Jethco. I don't know why I hadn't found this forum earlier but better late than never, eh? I found it due to an older thread from 2009 that was full of chit-chat and speculation about what curemoms and cumoms could possibly be identified as today. We read Ether 9 tonight in family scripture study and I was interested to see what the world had come up with for curremoms and cumoms. My interests include furthering my doctrinal knowledge through healthy conversation with other people. In the real world I'm studying to be a commercial pilot, I served a full-time mission in the Guatemala Guatemala City Central mission; the best mission in the world , I married a beautiful Colombian woman in 2013 who is now 11 weeks pregnant with our first baby, and life is getting pretty interesting all of a sudden. Lol. I'm pretty much an open book. Like most people, I like to share my opinion with people and tell my story. I also love to hear about other people and compare how life's experiences can sculpt each one of us differently. On that note I'm a little bit of an anthropologist at heart and a super-novice linguist having learned Spanish on my mission. I would love to learn more languages. I find the differences and similarities fascinating! I'm currently living in Bakersfield, CA but being raised an Air Force brat I've seen my fair share of moving trucks and we haven't planted firm roots quite yet.
