Dehwelan's Collection 2002
On the week-end of May 3rd - 5th a group of people came together in Falmouth, Cornwall, U.K. to celebrate their Cornishness. The event had been organised by a small Committee of people who are to be congratulated on the success of the event. Amongst those present were a group of people from around the World who are interested in tracing either their own roots or those of their spouses, and who use the Cornish L List on the internet. These photographs have been supplied by some of them. If you would like to find out more about the Cornish List to which we belong then go to the web site by clicking HERE.
