Thread Name: BS: Cornish toes? Take your shoes off
Subject: RE: BS: Cornish toes? Take your shoes off
My second toe is longer than my first. I have very high insteps, and Irish has married Irish in my family for 200 years. ( Mostly I have some Swiss on my mother's side, and the Seaveys on my father's. Is Seavey Cornish?) The closest I come to Cornish ancestors is Mathias Ramage and his three sons. They were Hugenots, who left France in 1715. One of the Ramage brothers settled in Cornwall. My ancestor, Guillaume, wound up in BallyKelly, Ireland.

I was told in high school Latin class that if your second toe was longer than your big toe you were descended from Roman nobility.
