Message from a UK Rookard
Hello folks..
Have just found this site on the web, Thought you might like to know that we UK based Rookard can trace the line back to a William Rookard who came to Norwich, UK sometime in the 1600's. From our reseach we suspect he can to the UK from either France or Holland as a result of the French purge.
As for myself, I live some 25 miles from the centre of London in the Essex Town of Brentwood, Essex. UK. There is a large community of Rookards in the Brentwood area, But the interesting thing is that our section of the family can trace it's routes back to the north Essex (UK)village of Wendon Abbo. Grandfather Rookard comming to Canning Town, London to drive those new fangled steam locomotives -first around the London Docks, before moving on the the Great Eastern Railway out of Liverpool Street station , London and moving out to live with his large family in a Railway house in Brentwood sometime around 1890-99.Would love to know more about the US Rookards, so please e-mail me
again the e-mail address is
