Bloody fantastic!!!!!
yes when the metals were found elsewhere and could be brought out cheaper the mines started to close and there was a lot of emigration. Well done in tracing your family tree that far back, I got stuck in the early 1800's and gave up!!
It was a cool journey, and not easy, but when I was in the UK I got to go to some of the places they lived, Paul, Cornwall among them, and that was a really cool thing. There's still headstones from hundreds of years ago that mark where my ancestors lay. It felt good to be there despite not knowing those people.
That's good to hear. I have never lived further than 12 miles away from where I was born, 😂
Oh wow, that's amazing, sort of like in the old days (medieval) when a person may never go farther than a mile from where they were born.
yup, weird isn't it, and all my family live within 5 miles of me too!
I don't think it's a bad thing...The same can happen here in smaller towns...people just have no reason (or maybe desire) to go anywhere else.
yes when the roots go deep its hard to shift the tree
