Cook was allegedly an ancestor on my paternal grandfather's side, although I was adopted. Heard this week from a fifth cousin in the West of England, but that's genetic, not through adoption.
We learned almost 50 years ago that adoptees marry one another, even adoptees who are unaware of the adoption,, at twice the statistically anticipated rate. My adoption was to a loving home; my sister was adopted four years later. My wife was adopted three years after me, was given up by Appalachian residents who could not afford to feed all their children. That was at a time of scarcity of children for adoption.
