	Longest Cornish Bloodline?
PengellyITA	Posted: 26.03.2007, 22:24
registered: Nov. 2004 Posts: 112 Status: offline last visit: 28.04.08	Jim Hosking (of St Buryan, People, Places, Past and Present and other great books) has traced my family back to Botrea Farm in the early 1800s. Jim married a cousin of mine who was a Pengelly. I might have to start digging myself but I do have every relative on a family tree from that date onwards. My mother was a Curnow and Bill Curnow, of Florida, is my 17th-removed cousin, and has my family tree among his database of 7,000 Curnows. So that will be my hobby when my hair goes very grey...

My other side of the family is Irish, But thy go way back in Roscommon. Mar vedhow avel gelvinek (as maazed as a curlew)*

My Martins gang I have traced back to about 1650. Mostly they are in Towednack. Same time period with my HOSKINGs in Lelant. My Phillips tree goes back only to @1700 in Gwinear before I am stumped. The line that has me really at a brick wall is my UREN line which I have only to @1750 at Ludgvan. Incidentally if you want Cornish surname meanings, look at my site. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~kernow/index.htm

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? Forgive my ignorance but how did you go about this research? I have to admit that I don't even know beyond grand parent level! I have heard there are some companies that specialise in family history research - for a price! I don't mind paying, but can someone recommend a decent one?
