According to the genealogy stuff my father did years ago (it's a hobby of his), he traced our family back to England and eventually to the Seven Oaks family. Outside of London, there is still a castle and a family named Seven Oaks. According to his research, John Of Seven Oaks is a direct ancestor. The name morphed into Snoaks, then into Snook. Donald H.
