In a time past there were many miners in Camborne, but the mines finished. There was no more tin or copper and there was no work for the workmen. The miners took their labour and their skills to America, to Mineral Point, a region rich in minerals. At first they got lead, and later zinc. They took their skills and their family names, such as Trelawny and Pendarves. Some of them went away to find gold (in California) - but they left their names. Cornwall is remembered in Wisconsin. The flag is flying in Commerce Street!

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

Bes avel mab an vodreb o ev cosin Calvin ewedh?  Families are fascinating. My ancestor had two wives. They were sisters. The first wife, Mehitabel died, when their son Calvin was only ten years old. T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
