This is truly brilliant. Thankyou so very much for all your hard work. Its the first time I have been able to add a Hannibal and Agrippa to the family tree. I wonder where they went after 1700 ?? |

This must be one of the very best sites of its kind. I've found it absolutely marvellous and opened up huge swathes of my ancestry about which I knew nothing beforehand. Brilliant. |

Thank you, thank you and thank you again! I feel like all my genealogical Christmas's have come at once. This is one of the most wonderful historical and genealogical sites I have ever found - and I have traced more of my family history than I could have imagined. Since 'googling' Porthallow 3 days ago I have spent every spare moment searching through your extensive transcripts and reading about the history of your beautiful area, which I was lucky enough to visit in 1995. My area of interest is the MARTIN family of Portallow. John MARTIN (a blacksmith)married Mary BASTIAN in 1833, they had 9 or 10 children who were all baptised at St. Keverne including my Gr-Gr-Grandfather George Bastian MARTIN. He and his brother Edward migrated to Australia in the 1850s and were wheelwrites and blacksmiths in Sydney Rd, Brunswick, Victoria. If there are any fellow Porthallow/MARTIN descendents out there I'd love to hear from you! Thank you for your enormous effort in creating/maintaining this site |

I first visited your site in 2003 and have just come back for another look. I was able to add another child and his burial to my family. This is a truly magnificent site. My thanks to all involved |

Many thanks for all the hard work put in by those who have had anything to do with this site. I have been able to trace my 3xGt grandfather through this. Will be paying a visit to the area in October of this year and hope to see some of it's history. |

My father was a Frank Curnow, a wonderful bass-baritone in Brisbane, Australia. In newspaper cuttings he was described as "Brisbane's leading bass-baritone." His grandparents came from Halsetown in Cornwall. His father was William Percy Curnow, and we don't know what happened to him after 1919.Anyone who might enlighten me would be most appreciated. My father's grandfather (also a Francis Curnow) was the Commissioner for Railways in the new colony of Queensland, and one of his brothers became Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald in NSW. I've totally enjoyed reading of this other Frank Curnow and all the anecdotes of what he has unearthed for us readers of historical realities. I have a real feeling for the lives lived by my forebears. If Frank is still alive, I thank you sir! |
