I have been puzzling over Thomas Coad and his brothers Hugh and John who suddenly turned up in St Keverne about 1630, for years and years now. Hugh was not a common name in Cornwall and made me think the boys might be from Devon.
There is only one way that we are going to find out who the Lizard Coads are and that is to find a living Coad descendant and get them to take a DNA test. The family was never that numerous and I do not know if any are still around.
It sounds like Ancestry trees get wilder and woolier every day. Trabzon Turkey? The place on the Black Sea where they catch anchovies? I thought Id heard everything.
I just had someone steal a full page of stuff about Coodes on one of my trees, without attribution, and then it was copied about 15 times by people who got it totally wrong. Well - that will happen with no quality control.

I am interested in origins of my ancestor Thomas COAD aka COODE who married 1642 St Keverne Cornwall. Some trees on ancestry.com give him as being born in Trabzon Turkey. This made no sense to me but reading up on St Keverne it seems that "turkish" pirates were active around cornwall for several hundred years. Now I am wondering whether he was maybe a shipwreck survivor from a Turkish galley, or maybe a son of an english slave retuing to his homeland?, think former more likely although seems there were very large numbers of cornishmen abducted for slavery by these pirates. Any researchers of Thomas COAD COODE out there.?regards
