Title: New Traveller website
Post by: boswell37 on Wednesday 20 January 10 15:23 GMT (UK)

There is a new website that focuses upon high quality research into gipsies called:

romresearch.wetpaint.com

It has just started up and already has a number of articles worth reading.

 :( Couldn't find it either. I got PM's exactly the same 'part link'. Added all the usual bits. Googled for it. Came up blanks all round.

 We need the full URL.

Saying that; Aren't those wetpaint sites run on Flash or something? I have murder with them anyway  ::)

Hi Boswell 37

Do you mean Romany Gypsy Connections ? That is a site on Wet Paint.

Thanks for that - seems like a good resource with links to other sites too. I got a lead on one of my ancestors being a traveller and its so hard to trace!

Hi pookerthegib,

Yes. If you check jaytoot's post at Reply #3 above it gives the precise details.

I do not wish to create extra work for the site-owner but if you want substantial information then you can get it there. The  resource is thirty years of properly researched work covering almost every travelling family, most of which has never before seen the light of day on any of  these boards.

One word of warning. It takes a lot of time to locate and prepare the information so please be patient and ask questions in such as way that it is easy to tell who you are talking about.
