'Will be visiting Somerset are last week in may with wife & friends.Would like to

investigate ancestry from this area and possibly meet some family. My Coate

ancestors possibly came to the States in mid 1600's. Possible name links

would be Marmaduke Coate/Sir Thomas de Cote (1140). Have not fully

verified these leads. Any help would be appreciated.Many thanks in advance.'
