    1. [AUS-QLD] Cornish Emigrants - Personal Notices
    2. Rowena Gough
    3. Dear List Folk, I have a strong interest in Cornish genealogy, and have been collecting the Personal Notices, Obituaries, Death and Funeral Notices, and In Memoriam notices of Cornish emigrants. I started with my family group and then kept going, with many hours spent in the State Library of Victoria trawling country newspapers, not yet on Trove. If anyone would like to share the obituaries and death notices of Cornish folk they have researched, I would be very pleased to receive them. The personal notices may also include things like golden wedding celebrations, 90th birthday's etc. These also help me to identify death records, and search for newspaper notices. Please note that I have already been through Trove and collected all items which record that the person was from Cornwall, England. I am looking for Cornish folk who have not been clearly identified as such. What I would like is: The title of the newspaper; The day, month and year published; and The full text as it appears in the newspaper. What do I do with this material? I enter it into a document, one for each state in Australia, one for New Zealand, one for South Africa, one for Canada, etc. When I can, I help other family history researchers. Any contributions that you would like to share will be gratefully received. Also, if you are aware of any country historical groups (or publications) that have collated the deaths notices of their local paper, this would be also of interest to me. Kind regards to all, Rowena
