We see ourselves as part of a story of the grace of God, made manifest in Cornwall, which stretches back many hundreds of years, possibly to the very earliest days of the ChrisNan faith. It’s a story that calls us on into the future too, in loving mission, ministry and service. As we follow ‘The Saints Way’ we will be deeply commi+ed to Christ and to all that he calls us to be and to do; and to Cornwall, this very special place with its own parNcular culture, history and idenNty. We can only follow that Way faithfully if we see it as our corporate calling, as the body of Christ. So we encourage ministers of the gospel to come and join us here who are commi+ed to seng the whole people of God free in their God-given calling, to make Christ known here in Cornwall, today.

  • The Kresen Kernow Guide to Researching Your Family History
    The Kresen Kernow Guide to Researching your Family History Researching your family history can be an exciting adventure, taking you on a journey you may never have imagined. It can also be a long and involved process, so here are some tips to help you get started. First, organise what you know already and decide what you want to find out. This will prevent you getting side-tracked by irrelevant information. Remember, other members of your family often know lots of useful information. Starting with yourself and working backwards write down all that you and your relatives know about your family. Using letters, photographs, newspaper cuttings and family bibles can help with this. Make sure you record where your information has come from. Include notes when a search has been unsuccessful to prevent you looking in the same place twice. Start to draw a family tree or chart, leaving space to add more information when you find it. Read a book or magazine on genealogy (family history). There is also lots of information available online. Once you have done all this you are ready to get started on archive research and can plan your visit to Kresen Kernow. Please note, all our records have Cornish connections so if your ancestors are from elsewhere we might not be of much use to you. However, we do provide access to online sources that could still be helpful. When researching your ancestors, it is helpful to first find out their basic details – such as name, dates of birth and death, family members, places where they lived - and there are a few vital sources that can help you do this.
