Romany/Gypsy heritage
« on: Friday 10 March 06 05:56 GMT (UK) »
Is anyone good at helping people track their possible Romany background? I know there is a website devoted to this, but wondered if anyone on this List had an interest.

I am researching YOUNGs and REEVES, BOXses and TUDGEYs in Worcestershire. And SMITHs in Essex and Norfolk.

hello Jamie
          If you Google   (romany/gypsy heritage) there seems to be lots of information on the subject.
           Regards   Reg.

Hi Jamie

If you try the Search Rootschat button above, you will find plenty of references to travellers/ gypsies.

the other thing to try is the Surname Interest Table, which is at the bottom of each page (or should that be screen?)

There are a few people with an interest in the subject, so hopefully they will find this thread.

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Thank you Arranroots. I'll try those options now. By the way, I notice that you have WEBBs in your family. So do I, from Bucks and Surrey.

Hello again Jamie  :)

My WEBBs went from Gloucestershire to Monmouthshire and back to Bristol.  I have another line in Chippenham, Wiltshire.

If you want to post specific questions about your romany families, we would be happy to try and help.  I would recommned starting a new thread, as it will attract more attention than one that has already received answers.

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hi Ihave only just registered on this site. The Smith's that you refer to in essex and Norfolk are probably my desendents. See the joiner buckley subject this may help you.
