There is a lot of activity in the P.W. Cook Family Organization at this time, and we are enthused. Our initial pages of our web-site are up, and there will be additions to it on a regular basis. The descending pedigree chart is about ready for printing and mailing to those who have ordered copies. Janet Porter's documented history of P.W. Cook (this is a new publication) is ready to mail to those who desire to order a copy.

We are in a transition from all distributions being in hard copy and mailed to members to posting some of them on the web-site for you to download and print, as desired. For those who do not use a computer or E-mail, we will continue to send hard copies of printed material. A committee of dedicated experts is very busy expanding the web-site. Please see the detailed article about the web-site in this newsletter.

The updated descending pedigree chart will be ready for shipping by December 1. The cost is $45 ($36 for those who have paid their annual dues). We will also make the DPC available on a CD for $10 ($8 if dues are paid). We encourage members to order the DPC in hard copy or CD, or both. It will be very helpful and interesting as you trace your family lines back to P. W. Cook and use it for genealogical purposes. Please see the additional information in this newsletter.

Janet Porter, our Genealogist, has completed a 465 page documented (very readable) history of Phineas Wolcott Cook containing many photographs. The price is $37.50 per copy ($30 for those who have paid their dues.. This publication should be a must order for every family in the organization, a valuable keepsake to hand down from generation to generation. This would be a nice Christmas gift for someone in your family. Please see additional information in this newsletter.

Much effort has gone into making the above mentioned publications and web-site available. We encourage you to support the P. W. Cook Family Organization by ordering these publications. I promise you will receive much value for the money.
