I agree with Meli contacting 'living descendants' is a bonus, you share information, family bibles, family oral history, photos etc, and make new friends . but I suppose the way to do it is to reply off list so that the privacy is retained. I cannot see any harm in asking for information if anyone has it to share, but not to be too specific about anyone that may be alive.

Dear Friends, This comment was just posted in a recent Corn-Gen digest issue: "Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 06:11:01 +0100 From: "Alan Nelson" <atgn@elder53.fsnet.co.uk> Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] JENKIN - Peterville Inn, St Agnes To: <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <DBBB037FF03841158BED9046C270BE67@YOUR60C1573C39> I thought seeking living relatives is frowned upon on these lists" Surely not! One of my major goals constantly is to make contact and exchange information with "distant cousins" who are living descendants of my ancestors! This is how we are able to make headway in our research, isn't it?

Come on kiddies! The Peterville Inn has been a living relative of my family for centuries - and still is! I will be contacting this relative throughout the coming Summer and will happily buy you a pint of fine Cornish ale if your interpretation of the privacy laws permit you to approach me! :-) Kernow bys vyken!
