As we add to our data base each week, we hope you stop back frequently. Thusfar, we have transcribed all of 1840 - 1849, but have not yet posted them to the website. (We first post these articles to the Rootsweb Cornish lists, then to the website.)

....................................

We transcribe each newspaper as it is, with mis-spellings, unique sentence structures, etc. Many of the originals are wrinkled, torn, or blotted, making it difficult. When we've been forced to "guess" or paraphrase a word or item, we encase it in [...]. All parentheses appeared in the original paper.

While we try to be accurate, we know there are errors. Some corrections have been posted to the Rootsweb archives by active genealogists, which might help researchers.

We use images from micro-films purchased by the St. Piran Society, held by the University of St. Thomas, as our source material. We thank them, for without these resources, we wouln't be able to do this work and make the data available to a wider audience. .
