What a great sight! Very informative! I am looking for any of my DAWE relatives. The Dawe's originally appear to have come from Redruth and close to the Devon Cornwall border Lewannick. We have as far back as John Dawe who married Mary Gloyne 1757 they had a son Stephen. Any decendants out there?

Very good site. I have Cornish great-grandparents Mary (nee Abbott) and James Anstis and just beginning to trace more family before 1880.
Olive McDougall in New Zealand at 8:22:22 Monday April 16 2001
I am pleased to be making another visit to your site. My Kevern / Tripconey Grandparents came over to New Zealand way back in 1875. Both were born in St. Keverne and my cousin Dallas and I came over to help celebrate the 500year march from St Kevern to London back 1n 1997. We walked all over the place and loved Cornwall, hope we can return. Still trying to trace relatives, but it's not easy. Congratulations on your wonderful site, Alan. Olive

Your site is very neat! My g-grandfather was Charles R. Richards. His parents were John and Wilmot who immigrated to Wisconsin, USA to work the mines. I just realized me might be Cornish! And you and I might be cousins!

Chad Wesley Beard in Peachtree City, Georgia, USA at 0:34:57 Sunday April 1 2001
Though I'm American, I share a common love. The pasty is a treat prepared in the Upper Peninsula region in the U.S. state of Michigan. My family lives there and no doubt some of my ancestors were, or at least knew some 19th century miners who bought the treat with them to Michigan from Cornwall. The area once drew miners from Cornwall who helped mine Michigan's copper and iron deposits. Any comments? Please respond as I am doing some research for a new book. Thanks and God bless.
Robert Semon in Janesville, California, USA at 20:10:13 Wednesday March 28 2001
My great, great grandparents, John Odgers of Portcatho, and Grace Craze of Tolvaddon, were married at St. Illogans on 1 May 1843, and sailed the next day for America, settling in Mineral Point, Wisconsin.
Jack Bray in Lancaster Co., Penna. in 65 miles west from Philadelphia at 3:33:50 Wednesday March 28 2001
Alan, Found your website via Cornish-Forefathers. I sincerely believe both sites are especially outstanding. Yours has a bit more "flash" while Pam's is very utilitarian, which it should be. See ya, Jack
Ian Peters in South Sweden at 13:21:19 Monday March 26 2001
I´d just like to say that i miss Cornwall.I was born in St.Ives in 1964 and moved to Sussex in 1975.From there our family came back to Cornwall(Redruth) then Newquay!
I moved to Sweden in 1986 and have made my home here,married with 3 kids.
I´d love to here from anyone who remembers me from the junior school in St.Ives at the start of the 70´s.
Great site-regards Ian
Geraldine Duncann in Sonoma co. California at 16:23:50 Sunday March 25 2001
I'm looking for an old friend. She's remarried and I don't know her last name. Her first name is Carol. She lives in Carn Bray Lane Cottage, Carnke near Redruth. Carn Bray is where the third bonfire is lit on Mid Sumers Eve. I would realy like to get in touch with her. I know that her local was The Wheele Basset in Carnke. I may be spelling everything wrong. She taught me to make the world's best pasties. She is in a clogging team and both her sons were morris men. She tought me so much wonderful stuff about Cornwall. How I miss baking bread and pasties on her Cornish range in her wonbderful cottage. I miss cornwall dreadefully and wish I could visit Carol and her three wonderful children again. I miss picknicking at the Men an tol. I miss the 'oss. In fact, an old jaw of the red 'oss lives on top of my computer.
I'm sure you have better things to do with your time than look up old friends for heart sick Californians, but if you have a spare minuite and can somehow get me in touch with her I would be verry grateful.
If you ever wanted any information about California, the Sonoma County wine country, where I live, recipes, etc. I'd be glad to sent it to you.
I am a cookbook author and cooking instructor and have written a lot about Cornwall and Cornish cooking.
I first met Carol because I was singing at the folk club she and her first husband ran. That was about a billion years ago. My group and I stayed at Brenda Wooton's house. (sorry about all my miss spellings. I'm quite dyslexic and there isn't any spell check here.
I hope this long message hasn't been an inconvience to you.
If nothing else, can you go have a pint of Spingo at the Blue Anchor for me.
Thankyou for yur time and pacience,
Gerladine

Good morning Alan,
Found your site searching for information
on the "Tregellas" clan of Cornwall. Do you
have any ideas where I might go to do some
research/history on our family name or

I will have an e-mail address soon. In the interim, I am writing to you as a member of our chamber of commerce. Bruce Mines will soon be celebrating our 100th birthday.

I will try to reach you with an email address ASAP.
Thanks

I am a first generation, American born Cornishman. I have returned to Cornwall several times and lived there for about 6 months in the late 1940's when I was in my teens. My brother and I and our families are all that is in America. The rest of our family is still living in the area of Camborne in Cornwall. My wife's family is all from Mousehole, Cornwall. Her family name is Harvey. There are quite a number of her people still there in Mousehole. I love Cornwall and my Cornish heritage. I am ready for a trip back again anytime.

Marian Richards in Newtown in Wales at 11:5:25 Friday March 2 2001
Came across this site, while searching for a list of Welsh ex-patriots - and I
spotted that Alan Richards had relatives from Shropshire. My family run a farm
in Bishops Castle Shropshire, and I was wondering if there was a connection?
