@namsamram You're welcome. It's very rewarding to research the history of a proud Cornish family.

[namsamram]

@celticcornish i wont thank you

[celticcornish]

@namsamram You have a great deal to be proud about my friend. Don't let anyone even attempt to dilute that pride with their ignorance.

[celticcornish]

@3tangle3 Yes - don't bother because your assessment of the reality of this issue is clearly as off-base as your understanding of Cornish history - regardless of enigma codes.

[namsamram]

@celticcornish thank you makes me proud i have cornish roots

[celticcornish]

@namsamram They do indeed - yes they were known as a proudly Cornish family.

@menacinghat When I look to my UK passport to define my specific identity, I'll also ask you for your dimwitted advice on my country and it's legal/historic boundaries. Cornish is as dead as the Cornish spirit, and if you really thought that that spirt was dead you wouldn't even waste your time commenting here (or on other Cornish channels).

@aquabumblebee Bravo genius! I was being facetious about that guy's comment regarding a modern globe/map. Historical maps were not illustrated with the same penchant for imperialist values. They were produced as regional documents and represented land/culture more completely and - yes - more honestly, than the ones produced in contemporary times, post assimilation! Ever heard about the use of sarcasm and facetiousness?

@Stritchy Romans never attempted to infiltrate the Cornish, and the Cornish teamed with the Danish Vikings to defend against the invading forces east of their border, so perhaps the Cornish would not have been part of your assumption of widespread Viking/Roman rule anyway? Who is to say?
