Re: Any Cornish here

Hi Phil

My grandma was Cornish (Tonkyn/Skewes) - born and bred in Truro. There 
is a thriving Cornish Association here in Sydney, NSW and many more in 
Australia.

I used to converse on this newsgroup with one "Angof" fluent in the 
Kernewek language who lives in the Devon/Cornwall area.

Here was one post to give you the idea:

The leaders of the Cornish Association of NSW are also Bards of the 
Cornish Gorsedd.

Good that you show such an interest.
