last visit: 27.03.08 		Hi all,

I've been researching my family tree and have managed to get a continuous line back to ~1590. A friend has gone back to ~1500 (and with less certainty, ~1300).

I'm curious to know how far back members of the forum have traced their Cornish ancestry?

last visit: 12.05.08 		My paternal Jenkin line goes directly back to West Penwith moors in the early 1600s when they were farming at Bosullow - definitely kernewegor!

My maternal - paternal line stops at about 1690/1700 in Crowan though the family name comes from a Hamlet in Wendron and there are records of them going back to 1590s in BMD registers and the surname appears in both the 16th century muster rolls - so they could have been at Blackheath and Exeter!

last visit: 17.02.07 		I can trace my line (the Rails - Also spelled Rayle, Raile, Real depending on the spelling ability of the census taker etc) back to about 1580 in St. Gluvius where a Alexander Rail was born .. he then married a Ann Hobbe and the rest is History

I would love to know what happened before 1580 but details and records are sketchy to say the least

last visit: 27.03.08 		Sadly it's not in Cornwall, but I've now found that one of my lines (potentially) goes right back to William the Conqueror and beyond to Norway in around 788. As it's 40-odd generations back though I think my Norwegian blood is pretty dilute!

last visit: 12.05.08 		COAD, Cornish language isn't it? Possibly "old" in Cornish, or "Small wood, copse or spinney" (other SENSIBLE suggestions welcome...) I always hoped it meant something 'romantic' .....bit of a come down to realise its just the Cornish equivalent to "Olds" or "Woods"....ah well.....!!

Maternal line is OATEY, with a family legend that they were originally persecuted French Protestants (Huguenots?)

Couch's, Richards' and Semmens' also feature, nothing famous to date, (other than being servants at Lanhydrock)

Direct ancestors, Semmens' were active in developing copper mining in Malaya, thus hastening the end of Cornish mining! (Black sheep?)

Coed in Welsh means wood, as in a group of trees.



Proud to be Cornish !
