Cook Family Info

Hi there I am looking for any information on Gilbert Robert Cook Sr. and Gilbert Robert Cook Jr.

I am the daughter of Gilbert Rober Cook Jr. and I am looking for info on anyone who know any people related or information about our family. Gilbert Robert Cook Sr. was born in Hungary and had some brothers and sisters. I don't know any of there information. The last name was changed shortly after Gilbert Robert Cook Sr. married Mary Borhyn. I believe the last name was Sackage. That is how it is pronounced but not sure on the spelling.

Gilbert Robert Cook Sr. died in a train accident just outside of Lethbridge, Alberta. This was back around 1970.

If you have any information, please contact me. Any information will help.

Hello

I have a copy of the wedding announcement of your Gilbert and Mary with a picture. If you send me your email address I can email it to you as an Adobe file which will be rather large but you will get the whole page where you can search and zoom in. hotmail, yahoo accounts don't usually take such large files

Szakacs - Borhyn

First United Church was the scene on Sunday, Jan 17, of the marriage of Mary Borhyn of Lethbridge, daugther of Mr and Mrs P Borhyn of Magrath, to George Szakacs, son of Mr and Mrs Szakacs of the city. Rev R Magowan was the officiating clergyman.

Wearing a white wedding gown the bride carried carnations and roses and was attended to by four bridesmaids in blue formal frocks with pink carnations. The bridesmaids were Miss May Koepke, Miss Elizabeth Szakacs, Miss Oleksuik and Miss Anne Balanuk. Messrs Fred Paskuski, John Paskuski, Frank Radics, and Peter Giduk attended the groom.

A reception of 50 guests followed at the home of the groom's parents. The couple will reside in the city.

I can also send you copies of the newspaper pages with articles about the name changes from Szakacs to Cook

Hope this helps

Thelma

This is the "Hungary" your ancestor was born in:

There were 12 different languages spoken.

SACKAGE is a Canadian spelling and for it to be "Hungarian" SZAKACS comes to mind.
