CGMP

The CGMP is based in the upper floors of Murdoch House, Redruth, Cornwall. It was in this historic house, in 1792, that William Murdoch (1754 - 1839) invented gas lighting. Murdoch House is the first house in the world lit by gas lighting. We are an autonomous initiative of Redruth 2000, a Registered Charity (No. 1014072). The CGMP is run by a band of volunteers under the guidance of a Director... When the Cornish-American Connection was established in the early 1990's a paper was produced which set out the need, objectives, research methods and organisation for a Cornish Migration Project. The Project was eventually widened to include a study of Cornish migration world wide. Over the subsequent years there have been great achievements. There has been continual evolution, in recent times the objectives, aims, methodology and profile of the project has been greatly expanded. In particular the crown jewel of the project - the migrants database - has been extended considerably.The name..
