Keith, I think they probably went by train to Denver. Possibly they took a boat thru the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes to Chicago, and then a train, or maybe a boat to New York/Boston and then a train. Since New Brunswick abuts the US state of Maine, maybe they crossed there. Colorado became a state in 1876, with Denver as the capital, but Central almost beat out Denver, due to the gold there. So, undoubtly there were Cornish miners in Colorado.

My wife's ancestors moved from New Brunswick, Canada to Denver, Colorado in 1880. They may have been travelling at the time of the 1880 USA census and the 1881 Canadian Census, because I can't find them in either one. My question is. How would they have travelled from New Brunswick to Colorado in 1880 (What Route)? And would they have been required to register when they crossed from Canada to the USA? Best Wishes, Keith. ------------------------------ To contact the CORNISH-GEN list administrator, send an email to CORNISH-GEN-admin@rootsweb.com.
