Just wanted to say what a great website this
is! I stumbled upon it accidentally, and it made me feel quite homesick.
I was born and raised in Newlyn, and attended West Cornwall School
for Girls until 1953. If there are any "old girls" online I'd love
to hear from you! I was Hazel Worth before I was married. I try
and come home for a visit every year or so, and although I now have
dual nationality will always consider myself Cornish first!

To all you folks looking up your family tree.
You could try looking at www.whitepages.com and clicking on the
international numbers. That takes you to an area where you can look
up names, addresses and phone numbers in many countries. It could
help you get started with local contacts. Merry Christmas

I borrowed a book from the library by Charles
de Lint called The Little Country. It's set in Cornwall in a place
called Mousehole. Since starting the book I've been curious about
the place and just had to look it up. I was very surprised to find
a town actually called Mousehole. Also pleased. MAkes the book more
real. Thanks

My name is Kimberly French. I am an American
citizen, 3rd generation. My great-grandparents were both from Cornwall
and immigrated to the US in the early 1900's. My Great-grandfather
was James Richard Floyd born in Penzance around 1896. He was the
son of Richard and Annie White-Floyd. I have a photo of him taken
in 1896 with his mother by J. Brokenshire 22 The Terrace Penzance.
He later married Minnie Hollow, daughter of Capt. Richard Hollow
and Mary Louise of Fowey. It was long told to me that my Great-great-grandparents
owned the Ship's Hotel in Penzance. Can anyone supply me with information
regarding the Ship's Hotel? I have searched many avenues and have
yet to find anything. I would appreciate your help. My great-grandmother
had a brother named Wallace Hollow who lived his life in Cornwall.
Is there any of his decendants still there? I would love to hear
from you. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank
you and Happy Holidays.

Hello All:
I am a first generation American, my family is all from Cornwall.
My Mother, Father and Brother are all from Camborne. I have returned
several times to Cornwall and Lived at Treswithian Downs for about
6 months when I was in my teens. I have much family living that
area today, they are in the building trades.
I love the area around Penzance. My wife is also first generation
American her people are from Mousehole. Her family ran the Harvy
bus line between Penzance and Mousehole. Her Maternal Grandparents
are from Long Rock and she has a Brother living in Penzance now.
Her Grandfather (Paternal) was William Harvey who built the family
home, Zeriel in Mousehole, right on the harbor. Today it is a Tourist
Shop. They also ran the Post Office out of a small building right
next door to the house. Both of our families came to the U.S.A.
in 1927. We have remained here in this country, but consider ourselves
Cornish.
Anxious to come home again.

Well I enjoyed going through the site but couldn't
find everything I was searching for.My real name is Isiah & I was
born in South Africa.The reason I am writing is because I'm doing
some research & trying 2 find out more about my family history.So
far I have found out that my great great great GrandParents were
Pirates of Penzance but all I can find on the Pirates of Penzance
are plays, a rugy team, Vidios, etc ... but nothing on the real
Pirates or anything about them.I was hoping if someone read this
they could provide me with some info.Not only am I trying to find
out more about my ancestors but also buzy with a family tree.So
if you have anything for me please write to maxvanmarx@yahoo.com.Thanx

if Minack Cottage still exists, what happened to it and its animals.
Does anyone have any pictures of this cottage? I would love for
anyone arround this area to contact me and to enlighten me as to
what has happened to the Tangye holdings. If anyone has any information,
please do not hesitate to e-mail me with the information.....TKS/Gabriele

Much thanks to Jon Pender and Roy Mann who gave
of their time and family trees to aid in my search while over there
visiting Penzance. With your local people wanting to find thier
family connections we tied together ancestors and many cousins are
still in Mousehole, Newlyn and Paul My granddad lived on Trewarventh

Penzance was the greatest. Looking forward to my fifth trip back.
So proud to be Cornish.

unfortunately after my father passed away all addresses and contact

My father came to the United States in the 20's and always talked

A couple of months ago, I asked if anybody could
try help me trace my Grandfather's family history. I did not at
that stage have a date of birth. I now have slightly more accurate
details, and wonder if anybody could help. His name was Dennis Frederick
Tomlinson (this could maybe have been Thomlinson or Tomlin) born
23 June either 1895 or 1896 more likely 1895, as he would have turned
83 in 1978 when he passed on. Any comments or feed back would be
appreciated. I thank anybody that could help or is interested in
advance.
