I am researching my Cornish forebears - BENNETTS of Trewellard, CROWL of St Stephen in Brannel, TREGASKIS of Gwennap, LEWIS of Illogan and Swansea, Wales, FRIGGENS of Gulval and Bojewyan, FRENCH of St Winnow, WARREN of St Just in Penwith, FRETHY of West Penwith and Peranzabuloe, MILLETT, LUKE, LEAN. OLIVER, REYNOLDS, GARLAND, TRUTHWALL (MICHELL), EDWARDS of Gwennap Highway and PADDY of Falmouth / Mylor. My great-grandmother, Elizabeth Friggens BENNETTS was born in Trewellard in 1838 and emigrated to Australia, as did her brother, George Borlase BENNETTS. My CROWL family moved to Devon and emigrated from there to Austrlaia in 1849. The TREGASKIS family emigrated to Australia in 1855. The FRENCH family emigrated to van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) in 1831. I would be very interested to correspond with those interested in the above families. The various families mentioned are on both the maternal and paternal sides of the family. I am particularly interested in trying to find out more about the parents of my great-great-great-grandmother, Joanna PADDY, (born 1784) who married John LEWIS in Falmouth in 1811. Joanna's parents were apparently Edward PADDY and Mary ROWLING, who married in Falmouth in 1771. Regarding the similarity of patterns seen in various parts of the world to Celtic patterns, this may also have arisen because those who make designs can invent patterns similar to those invented elsewhere, without necessarily having seen prototype examples. With a limited number of motifs it is possible to invent endless combinations of surface patterns and designs, such as in the book by Aldolfo Best-Maugard in about 1926, A Method of Creative Design. On the other hand, there has been interaction between the East and the West over several thousand years, at least, with many opportunities to cross pollinate patterns. These thoughts are my opinions, having been interested in the process of pattern making since my early teenage years.

Once again I would like to thank all of you who have provided details on this American branch of my HUGO tree - until the last few weeks I have concentrated on my direct ancestors so this is a totally new experience.

I suppose it should not be surprising to find genealogical connections between European Celts and people in central Asia. We should bear in mind that the proposed "Mitochondrial Eve" most likely lived in the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, meaning that we all ultimately came out of Africa (though the remains found of those early hominids obviously give no indication whatever of their hair or skin colouring, and these features have clearly changed many times since they spread out of Africa into Asia and Europe). Our own more recent ancestors, the Aryans, came from somewhere around the Himalayas, and if people moved first from Africa to Asia, and then from central Asia to Europe, I see no reason why their descendants should not have moved in the other direction, probably on several occasions. Several major movements of people into previously human-free environments have taken place over time, some surprisingly recent, such as the indigenous North American peoples (around 10-11,000 years ago?) and the Polynesian peoples (some only a few centuries back, e.g. to New Zealand). By comparison the Australian aborigines (60-40,000 years ago) are comparatively ancient. For those among our number who accept the chronology of the late Bishop Ussher and disagree strongly with all this -- tough!
