Hi Zenobia,
I have recently become aware of the fact that I have KLISKEY connections on my UREN grandmother's side. Would it be possible to have a board for the name KLISKEY? They mainly hail from Newlyn, Cornwall.
All KLISKEYS are related and I would be able to help anyone researching this name.
Thanks CP

From A Handbook of Cornish Surnames - G. Pawley White
KLISKEY - From cowl-lesky: burn up completely.
(As a volunteer firefighter I could make a comment here - but I won't. ;D)

G'day CT Yes, I know about the meaning of the name thanks. You're not game enough to put your thoughts on here. Hehehehehehehe ;D The first Kliskey was Johan Kowlesky from Prussia and the name changed to Kliskey. I wonder how Pawley White came up with that description of the name. Apparently it's incorrect but I haven't been told what it should be. Careful now CT, you just might be related, so be nice ;D

Hi CP I don't mean to sound churlish, but I am trying to keep the surname boards at a minimum. My original idea was to include just a handful of surname boards with names that I knew were common to many with West Penwith ancestry - but I did kind of let myself get lead astray a bit. Since this is my first ever attempt to run a message board I have to do a bit of experimenting and will probably make mistakes. The Nankervis board was erroneously created by my dear co-admin, and since fifi was posting I let it stand, but in her long absence I have now deleted the Nankervis board and moved the posts over to queries. Could you please start a thread for your Kliskeys either in Queries or on the appropriate parish board? The Russian/Cornish connection sounds most interesting and I look forward to reading it!

Hi Trencrom. I will leave it to Zenobia to facilitate your request but I can tell you that, as far as I know, Crowan is part of West Penwith. It was certainly there in 1641 and I am pretty sure it still would be. Look forward to your 'Crowan Crowings' (or whatever Zenobia decides to call it) I reckon you will get a few discussions there as I have a few old items on the agenda that were put into the 'too hard and wait till later' basket some years ago. Let's see how things develop.

The Crowan board is now available. I was a bit more prosaic than anticipated...

Hello. querying possibility for a board in name of JOHNS - mainly Richard - a seaman and Trinity House - lived in Penzance and died there mid 1930s or early 1940. I have a line of descent here. Thanks. Am new to the forum and finding my way around but really enjoying the experience. > treehopper.

Hello Treehopper,
Any connection in your JOHNS line to Joseph Johns (baptised Paul 18 Oct 1785; buried Paul 21 Jan 1842) who married Elizabeth James Rouffignac at Paul on 2 Jan 1820? They had seven children all baptised at Paul: Francis Rouffignac Johns (30 Nov 1821); Joseph Johns (27 July 1823); Margaret Rouffignac Johns (9 Oct 1825); Elizabeth Johns (13 June 1828); Catherine Johns (4 July 1832); William Johns (27 Jan 1835); John Rouffignac Johns (8 Mar 1840). This Johns family of Newlyn were a fishing and sea going family.
I am descended through Catherine Johns (baptised 3 July 1832) who married her second cousin John Batten of Newlyn at Paul on 13 June 1857.
Regards,
Mary

Perhaps a Medieval/Visitations board might be a good idea? Sometimes people, like myself, , have queries that are beyond the 1600's and it might be a good place to sort them out.

Hi Mary. Many thanks for your input but none of those names spring to mind - I am sure they are of a line of descent that is different to mine. However, it was nice to hear from you.

Shw'mae,
Thanks for getting back, Treehopper. If it helps in anyway, I can go back on my own JOHNS line a little bit further:
Parents of Joseph Johns (1795-1842) were Joseph Johns (ca 1766-1848) and Catherine Mann who were married at Paul on 21 Dec 1793. They had one other son - James Mann Johns (baptised Paul 3 March 1811) who married Mary Achim Smith at Paul on 1 June 1834. Their offspring were all baptised at Paul and were: Joshua Smith Johns (12 Apr 1835); Mary Ann Johns (8 July 1836); Patience Johns (14 Oct 1838); James John Johns (1 Jan 1843); Joseph Johns (6 Jan 1850); Elizabeth Curnow Johns (15 Dec 1853); William James Johns (19 Oct 1856).
Joshua Smith Johns (1835-1894) who married Mary Jane Pollard at Paul on 24 Dec 1856 had four sons called Joshua Smith Johns (baptised at St. Peter's, Newlyn on 14 April 1861); James Mann Johns (baptised and buried at St. Peter's in November 1864); William John Johns (born 1875 at Newlyn) and Joseph Johns (born 1876 at Newlyn).
The above are probably still not connected to your own line, but hope it may be of help.
Diolch,
Mary

To all with queries about ,or requests for, new Boards - I am now part of the Admin team and plan to review existing boards as well as requests over the next couple of weeks. I still have to 'learn the ropes' and you will be aware there is a lot to work through. However there are a lot of discussions that have become fragmented and some of those may well warrant their own place on the forum. Medieval Discussions may well be one of these. Parishes may certainly be expanded but the Surnames discussions will require more careful thought. As Zenobia said early in this forum the idea was to try to not let the amount of boards get out of hand so careful consideration is needed before beginning a new board for any particular name. For now I would suggest any further discussion on the Johns family be continued under Queries. Queries more relevant to names of a particular Parish should be discussed within that Parish if it already exists with its own board. I will endeavour to have this sorted out over the next couple of weeks so please be patient. CT

Hello,Mary: ROUFFIGNAC. An interesting but probably useless piece of info.: William R.1729-1791, wife Elizabeth. Pic available. His daughter Elizabeth 1775,Paul.Cornwall, married a Batten. 3 children. My source is a researcher in the States by the name of Richards.There are a number of ROUFFIGNACs in his Tree. I could put you in touch with him....
