I just found out about this and thought I would share. As my family settled in the Upper Midwest of the USA and Canada was a significant entry point for Cornish immigrants, my research and DNA matches stretch across the border.
My maternal grandmother's mother died when my mother was 4 years old, so not a lot of information was passed down. I do remember a conversation in Grandma's kitchen where she mentioned that her grandfather, John Mitchell, might have been Canadian. What?! He was not, but there was a family-connected diamond drill company in Canada, and John and Bessie (Sampson)'s youngest son, Russell Clyde, was born in Nipissing, Ontario in 1898. There is a gap I can't account for between that and the 1890 birth of their son, Charles, in 1890 in Iron Mountain, Michigan.
