Warm greetings sharntarn. When your private message arrived I decided to follow up on your site to see whether the content of my message would make any real sense to you. I can now see that your forbears were Cornwall based. I'm extremely sketchy about the Beers beyond two generations but I know that their origins were in the U.K. I've taken on quite a few family names in my genealogical research. I guess I've adopted the easy path in that I've started with those family names where the information is most accessible and relegated those names which are likely to be more difficult to research to a later date.

is your beers come from saint erme cornwall??
