People - Emigrants
This colour indicates more information or an
external link. This page is intended to list many sites and people from which (or whom) information about Cornish migrants and emigrants can be obtained. If the family you are researching moved away from Cornwall, then you might find help here. If you are contacting an individual, please do so only if you are certain that the person in question moved to that area. It's unfair to expect volunteers to spend time doing 'blanket look-ups' just on the off-chance that they might find something. Please use the contact link on the left to add resources or report broken links. (Website owners - Permission to use some of the information has been given for this website only, so please link to this page rather than copy the list to your own site.)
