Thank you for getting the ball rolling with a story about your memories Jan! Someone had to start the tales of Christmas / family stories / tales of your ancestors, and that is a lovely start from Jan in San Diego! Meanwhile, we've just got back home (in even worse wind and rain) from the Cornish Carols at St Ive Chapel... and for those who are wondering, that is the correct spelling, and the chapel is at St Ive near Liskeard (in East Cornwall) and not St Ives in West Cornwall. I recorded the whole of the service, and I'll try and get some clips from it onto the Kowethas web site (this is the Cornish Language Fellowship, and I'll post a link if we get it sorted for you). And we had a lovely tea afterwards, but sadly no Cornish splits, although the Saffron Cake was lovely! So to get the taste buds going, this is what splits are: Either a scone (this is a rather dry tasting small cake or bun made with bicarb or raising powder) or - preferably - a small yeast bun, split open while warm, and served with strawberry jam and a big dollop of clotted cream - if you tear the bun open (instead of cutting it) the jam and cream really soak into the bun and you don't need butter. Yum Yum! If you can't get proper clotted cream where you are, then whip up double cream until it is nice and stiff, but it won't have the sort of lovely rich buttery flavour that proper Cornish Clotted Cream has.

I go away for the weekend and come home to tons of messages. I look forward to being in Cornwall again and the light house sounds to have lots of possibilities and it's not that far to Pigmoor. We have combined places before so why not do it this year? I don't have a horse any longer so need a new way to get their anyone going past Utah and will be willing to pick me up?

Thank you for the virtual Christmas Party invite! Sitting here in sunny but cold (well, it warmed up to -19C, with wind chill -31C) Thunder Bay, Ontario. All the best to everyone for great holiday season and for the coming year. We plan to visit Cornwall area in 2014 (my husband is direct descendant of Cornish families). Elle & Glenn Warner Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

John and all, I did find several recipes online for Cornish Splits made with yeast. I plan to make them for a New Years Cornish meal for my husband and myself. I think it will be nice to have something different and we will celebrate my husband's Cornish ancestry while doing it. I am putting together a Webb and Peeso book (his mother's lines) and hope to have it ready by Jan. to share with the relatives who descended from these two lines.

Once again, Anna and I are offering the chance to win some REAL prizes for your Cornish stories, the stories that have come down through your families, and that you would like to share, or the stories that you have discovered in the course of your researches. So, for the best of the stories here are the prizes (which we'll post out to you after Christmas): A CD called 'The Season's Best from Cornwall' by the famous Holman Climax Choir & Mabe Ladies Choir. My book 'Kernow and the Cornish' which is based around the Virtual Tours that I've done for previous Cornish List parties. 3 copies of the little 'Historic Cornwall' map produced by Cornwall Tourist Board. A copy of the Cornish List Christmas Souvenir CD that we produced for the 2002 Party (this has the famous Cornish carols by Merritt and Williams, sung by Four Lanes Male Choir and the Camborne Circuit Ladies Choir, as well as some new carols by Jeamus Downing, and the traditional Padstow Carols sung by local people in Padstow Social Club). So please share your stories and tales of your families this Christmas, so we can all enjoy them! And it doesn't matter if you've told them before, because stories are always the richer for the retelling! John and Anna in Cornwall.

Dear All, I'm sitting here in Cornwall on a wet and miserable Sunday morning and thinking about the venues so far suggested. Godrevy Lighthouse (suggested by Lorna May), Pigmoor (suggested by yours truly), and Port Wenn aka Port Isaac (suggested by Albert Jenkin). In real life, Anna is in another room here in our rambling old stone house, where she is practising her reading for the Cornish Service of Nine Lessons and Carols, at St Ive Chapel this evening. The entire service (carols and readings) is held in the ancient Cornish language, and it is followed by a proper Cornish tea in the old schoolroom, with Saffron Cake and Splits & Cream. It's a wonderful start to Christmas, and draws people to a packed chapel from all over Cornwall. In the same way, our mad Cornish List Virtual Party draws together people from all over the world, and I'd miss it like crazy if we didn't have it, even though I'm the one in the kitchen doing the washing-up and forgetting the punch-lines to the jokes!!!!!!!!! So Lorna May's idea of Godrevy Lighthouse is a wonderful suggestion to light up this world of ours. It's been a tough year for many, and the romance of a tiny island off the Cornish coast, with a beacon flashing a welcome sounds like an inspired choice! So a big Thank You to Lorna May - Virtual Lady of the Light - there are loads of grey seals, dolphins, and basking sharks who can start delivering your virtual invitations handed from your oilskin clad virtual figure as you balance on the rocks and try to avoid getting washed in by the next big wave!

Hello all, My husband descends from the Cornish Webb and Stevens families. I am enjoying this discussion of where to hold a virtual Christmas Party. Wish we could actually visit you and attend the service at St Ive (or is it Ives?). My question is, what are Splits and Cream? We have had Saffron cake and would love to know what other foods are traditional Cornish to serve at Christmas. I may even have to bake some saffron cake to honor my husband's heritage this Christmas. Happy Holidays from Minnesota. Grace & Richard -----Original Message----- From: cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2013 4:46 AM To: Cornish List Subject: Re: [CORNISH] Party 2013 - WELCOME TO GODREVY LIGHTHOUSE!!! Dear All, I'm sitting here in Cornwall on a wet and miserable Sunday morning and thinking about the venues so far suggested. Godrevy Lighthouse (suggested by Lorna May), Pigmoor (suggested by yours truly), and Port Wenn aka Port Isaac (suggested by Albert Jenkin). In real life, Anna is in another room here in our rambling old stone house, where she is practising her reading for the Cornish Service of Nine Lessons and Carols, at St Ive Chapel this evening. The entire service (carols and readings) is held in the ancient Cornish language, and it is followed by a proper Cornish tea in the old schoolroom, with Saffron Cake and Splits & Cream. It's a wonderful start to Christmas, and draws people to a packed chapel from all over Cornwall. In the same way, our mad Cornish List Virtual Party draws together people from all over the world, and I'd miss it like crazy if we didn't have it, even though I'm the one in the kitchen doing the washing-up and forgetting the punch-lines to the jokes!!!!!!!!! So Lorna May's idea of Godrevy Lighthouse is a wonderful suggestion to light up this world of ours. It's been a tough year for many, and the romance of a tiny island off the Cornish coast, with a beacon flashing a welcome sounds like an inspired choice! So a big Thank You to Lorna May - Virtual Lady of the Light - there are loads of grey seals, dolphins, and basking sharks who can start delivering your virtual invitations handed from your oilskin clad virtual figure as you balance on the rocks and try to avoid getting washed in by the next big wave! So for Christmas 2013, for those that would love to party, welcome to Cornwall and to Godrevy Lighthouse! John and Anna.

That is very nice of John to offer those prizes at The Party! My favorite memory of Christmas while I was growing up in the hills of Oakland, California was of my mom's sisters and their families coming to our house for a big turkey dinner. The aunts brought their special side dishes and the six of us cousins loved to run aroound outside with our newly upwrapped presents and show them to the other neighborhood kids. The weather there is not as bad as in Cornwall, but is colder than where I live now (San Diego) so we were usually able to go outdoors. We all hiked up the hills behind our house near Lake Temescal before dinner to fly kites with the three dads, running along with them to see whose went higher. At dinner there was the annual "fight" over which dad got the turkey drumsticks, a there were two legs and three dads. One year, my mom roasted an extra leg so when she brought out the turkey, there was that extra one sitting next to the bird on the serving platter. Expecting the traditional whining from the dads about "she likes you better, wah wah" we all started laughing so hard! I miss those days, but life goes on. The moms and das are all gone now and we six cousins are all in our 50s and 60s and live all over the map ( One in Washington State, one in Marin County, one in Sonoma County, two in San Diego, and one in The Netherlands) and seldom see each other. Thank goodness for email! Have a wonderful Christmas, everybody!

I love reading what John writes! I can almost imagine being back in Cornwall again, although our 75 degree sunny day here in San Diego makes it a big difficult to imagine the "wet and miserable" conditions. (Send us some rain! Wee need it!) My older son planned on living in a lighthouse on Maui and count migrating whales for a living, but ended up living in an apartment in Manhattan, working for a large pharmaceutical company and counting taxicabs instead. The lighthouse venue for our Virtual Party sounds wonderful. We have a beautiful lighthouse here in San Diego I love to visit, if any of you come here for a isit someday!

Hi again, I think I may have answered part of this for my self. I did not find this marriage on Findmypast at LDS on Tuesday although it must be there. Have just pulled out the trusty old Marriage CD and found this. William FRAZER to Elizabeth BEER 8 Feb 1810 [with Notes] Plymouth St Andrew. Is anyone please able to see what the image says on FMP for this marriage. [providing it is there] I now need to find a burial for William Frazer/Fazier/Fraser 1810- 1821. There does not seem to be one on my CD. Sorry about the multiple listings, but I thought that the FRASER may have come from Cornwall. Bev -------------------------------------------------- From: "B.

Morning to you all and a very Merry Christmas and adventurous New Year in 2014. Multiple Lists.............. I like tying up loose ends but am rather stuck with the wife Elizabeth FRAZIER who is a widow in 1821 when she remarries. Robert Hocking EDMONDS [indexes] but really Richard, married Elizabeth FRAZIER, widow at Stoke Damerel 13 Dec 1821 Witnesses were Wm. BEER and Mary Burt Two of Elizabeth's sons have the middle name of BEER in them, so I figure she must have been a BEER before she married FRAZIER. Does anyone have a BEER/FRAZIER marriage in their data bases please? Another reason is that a William BEER is witness, so figure again that he might have a connection of some sort to Elizabeth, maybe brother/father. There is an Elizabeth BEER chr. 24 Jan 1800 d/o William & Elizabeth at Plymouth. Could this be her? Mind you if this is her, she was quiet young at 21 to be a widow. I have not been able to find a suitable burial for a FRAZEIR just before that time, his burial may not have occurred in Plymouth and surrounds. Can anyone help please. Bev

Hello Albert! I do not post but am so looking forward to the Cornish Christmas Party. Not only is it fun to read but also very informative about locations. My question is....... Is this the start and you are the first post?!!!! Where in the North American Colonies..... I forget! It's been a hard year... bring on Christmas Cornish style!!! :-) Kess -----Original Message----- From: cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Albert Jenkin Sent: Sunday, 15 December 2013 1:27 AM To: cornish@rootsweb.com Subject: [CORNISH] Party 2013 Location? We here in the North American colonies are enjoying Doc Martin on the telly and Pot Wenn sounds like an ideal spot for a party. Good tucker at Bert Large's Restaurant, views of the coast and the harbor. Miss Glasson might consent to play tour guide. All the colorful locals trying so hard not to look like up country folk. Sounds like a smashin' spot to me. My vote for party spot this year is Port Wenn. Yes, I know it's a fictitious name for Port Isaac, but since we're havin' a VIRTUAL party, that should be no problem. ------------------------------- Subscribe to digest by sending an email to CORNISH-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and body text.
