Dear Karen
If you make any connection to CANHAM's in Mauritius please contact me, I
have no idea where my CANHAM's are from prior to Mauritius.
I have William CANHAM born c 1849
His children from what I have found were all born in Grand Port and Moka
in Mauritius
Regards Jonnette

Subject: [CANHAM] Canham ancestors (California Canada Michigan New
YorkEngland)
My CANHAM ancestors from
California. Grandma says 5
Canham brothers immigrated
from England to the Great
Lakes area. She mentioned
Canada, Michigan, New York,
Pennsylvania, and other
places, saying the boys each
went in different directions.
She could give no names of the
five Canham brothers, nor time
period, but my Canhams
immigrated before 1859. She
added a story about a "Lewis
Canham" who was a sea pirate.
I would like to hear from
relatives and others who have
Canham families with possible
ties.
