  • MAY 16 – 22, 2022 Cornwall Has Long Enchanted Many for Its Sweeping Coastal Vistas, Charming Fishing Villages, Its Famous Pasty and Friendly Residents
    MAY 16 – 22, 2022 Cornwall has long enchanted many for its sweeping coastal vistas, charming fishing villages, its famous pasty and friendly residents. In addition to these things, there is so much more to discover. From ancient buildings, Cornish cream teas and Celtic heritage to the local traditions and language – this very special tour of Cornwall will bring all these things to life. Cornish towns might look close on a map, but they are threaded together by scenic and often narrow roads leading from one unique discovery to the next. Over the years, I have come to love and know Cornwall, and on these journeys, I have come across so many special things to share with you on this unforgettable journey. Because of the small and often intimate type of places that this tour will cover, we are limiting this tour to just 15 participants. Along the way, we will meet some memorable Cornish residents, that will add greatly to our journey through the very best of this part of the British Isles. From Cornish pasties, local ales, Cornish cream tea, fish and chips to fine seafood, you’ll be delighted at the great cuisine along the way, all of which has been carefully chosen for your enjoyment. So, get ready for a memorable week of exploration. Andrew Lannerd Tour Director | Transcendent Travel MAY 16 – 22, 2022 02 03 MondayDay One • 11:00am | Guest arrivals to London Paddington Station* • Train departure to Cornwall • First class train journey ★ Lunch will be served on the train • Late afternoon arrival to Cornwall • Coach journey to Falmouth • Seaside drinks reception at our hotel • Welcome to Cornwall group dinner overlooking the sea in Falmouth • Overnight accommodations at the top-rated Greenbank Hotel in Falmouth Today, we will begin our journey at London’s Paddington Station for a first-class train journey to Cornwall.

  • Going Back on Don Baker's Pettit Line
    Going Back on Don Baker’s Pettit Line By Burks Oakley II 22 June 2020 Introduction I have been helping my cousin Don Baker with his DNA and family tree on the Ancestry.com website. Recently, I have been looking at Don’s ancestors on the Geni.com website, and I have enjoyed learning about his ancestral lines that go way back into the past.

Here is the part of Don’s maternal pedigree that shows his Pettit ancestry: The red ovals represent the line with Pettit DNA.

Here is his entry from Don’s family tree: It appears that he lived his entire life in Greene County, Pennsylvania – which is in the far southwestern corner of Pennsylvania, very close to West Virginia. Here is Don’s ThruLines™ chart for John B. Pettit: This chart shows that Don has DNA matches with twenty descendants of John B. Pettit. These lines connect back to John B. Pettit through is children Jesse, Delilah, William (Don’s line), Rachel, and Mary Ann. These DNA matches provide pretty strong support for Don’s ancestral line back to John B. Pettit. I next looked to see if there was an entry for John B.
