My family were miners too. They moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and even had a town named after my great grandfather.

Hi Spartan-new here and I was very courious about your post because I live in Upper Michigan. My great grandmother (Harriette Kelly) and great-great grandmother (Emma Solomon)were both from Cornwall. My great grandmother Harriette parent's were married in Menheniot, Cornwall. Both married Broemer men and they settled here in the U. P. First in the Houghton/Hancock area and then Ontonagon, and finally here in the Ironwood/Bessemer area. We don't have a town named after us but we do have a road outside of Houghton and my great grandfather started the fire department in that area. I was wondering if there was connection somewhere.
The Cornish hunting kilt is on my list to own but I think I'm going to have to get use to the Cornish National. Bit too much yellow for me.
