CORNWALL PROTESTATION RETURNS 1641 Edited by T. L. Stoate

Description

In the year of 1641 it was demanded that every man over the age of 18 should make an oath was to follow the “true Protestant religion”. These are now called the Protestation Returns and form a valuable list of inhabitants of a parish at this time. Not everyone signed and those who did refuse are also sometimes noted. This important Cornish reference work contains some 30,000 names given in 5 boroughs and 197 parishes out of a total of 204 and will be of great use to Genealogists and Family Historians. It is in Adobe Acrobat format and so can be easily searched and read on most computers. A must for anyone with Cornish Ancestors.
