Is anyone still devoting research time to the MINERS family of Cornwall? My great grandfather George MINERS b: 1826 and his brother William b: 1821 both in Ladock, Cornwall emigrated to Canada 1849 - 1852..........George first and then William. George is believed to have come either with or just after his Cousin Josiah MINERS and his family, along with another cousin who stayed at Bruce Mines.............Josiah and George both emigrated and lived in South Oxford Co., Ontario and William and his family pretty much stayed in the Usbridge, Ontario area...........Huron Co., I believe. Some of that family went out west........About the same time that George, William & Josiah left England, another 2nd cousin, Thomas MINERS left for Australia and started a new area of MINERS descendants...........and another cousin went to Rhodesia, S.Africa and likewise did the same. In 1860 another couple of second cousins emigrated to Pennsyvlania, (Samuel & Thomas) and built their dynasty there.........

Early on, we have run into many name changes.........like Meynors, Myners, Minors, but in the last 200 years, I have mostly only run across MINERS and some Minors.

Anyone interested??
