Hello, Pardon the x-posting. I was able to borrow books via a library system's Books By Mail program. This library is a three hour drive from me. Until a few days ago, they were going to send me a couple of books about Cornish immigrants to America but they didn't because they unfortunately instituted some rule that bars resident from my county in participating. That was a bummer, since I wanted to know more about my grandfather's Cornish heritage. Anyway, I've included the titles of the two books below. Have any of you read them? And are they worth trying to get them via Interlibrary loan (my local library has a limit) or other sources? What kind of information is included therein? 1. "The Cornish miner in America: the contribution to the mining history of the United States by emigrant Cornish miners--the men called Cousin Jacks." by Arthur Cecil Todd. Published in 1967 in Truro & Glendale, California. 2. "The Cousin Jacks; the Cornish in America" by Alfred Leslie Rowse. Published in 1969 in New York. Thank you! --Chris Sundita __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/
