Hi Just to say how much we agree with the previous note, We live in Cornwall UK, we hold a database of over 8000 Cornish Hicks, we know that lots of these emigrated all over the world as miners, farmers and stonemasons, BUT we lose a lot of them in the mid 1800s, Our own line loses a few in VT, NB, and they are turning up in every and any State, also in Canada. Given just a little more information in the initial note, might make us sit up and take notice. Regards Ann & Mike Hicks
