[Hooper] New York and Canadian Hoopers

[Keith J. Hooper]

Wanted to get this information out to other Hooper researchers. We've 
been doing a lot of digging and thanks to a distant relative in Canada 
we have verified quite a bit of information. One big question was 
whether or not our family name changed when they came stateside. It 
turns out that this was just a confusion on one document. And we've 
since found other verifying documents to ensure that our family was, 
indeed, Hoopers as far back as the late 1700's. And we've broken through 
one big brick wall and made a connection through the dna project with 
another Hooper family. And now we've verified that we were definitely 
Hoopers before, we want to put out the invitation to other Hooper 
families to check us out also.

We have our family living in Canada from the Late 1700's to around 1880 
when my ancestors moved to Malone, NY. Some branches stayed in Canada. 
And most of my family has remained around the St. Lawrence river valley 
until recently. So you can look our info up on rootsweb, on the 
Hooperconnections site or my website at 
http://web.netstartel.com/~cage47 I'll be updating my history page with 
new info soon. Hope to hear from y'all soon.
