Message from a UK Rookard

Hello Dennis!
There are a significant amount of Rookards on my side of the pond. We're spaced from Massachusetts to Missouri to California to Maryland to Georgia, (Atlanta is where I live), to Delaware to Michigan!
I am confused and surprised to find so many UK Rookards, since I am of the belief that we are Dutch. I am having a terrible time trying to get into Holland's records. Any help from your side on that? Rookard has been established here since the early 1600's. Maybe we were some of those upstart colonist originals. Many of us are woking on piecing the line/lines together with much work being done on ancestry.com.
I can fill you in on what I know if you want to hear it. Email me back.
Look forward to chatting with perhaps my long lost cousin!
