Romany Rootschat
« on: Thursday 10 August 06 03:12 BST (UK) »
Romany-Rootschat is a wonderful site, my 4xggrandparents John & Letitia Gentle are listed with their children, all except my 3xggrandmother Jane she was born in 1817. Anyone have any ideas as to why she is missing? All but l child was born in Alkerton Oxford, Susannah was born Kidlington.

Glad you like the site - I haven't had a chance to update it recently, but I have another 2000 or so records still to add - mostly from Hampshire and Surrey.

If any one has any information they would like me to add to the site please just send it to

Merry Christmas to you all

Hi Jean, I notice you have Renwicks in your list of names, my Great Grandmother was Ann Renwick married to Robert Gibson, does this ring any bells with you?
Thanks. Monalisa.

Hi Honeybee
I'm afraid I know little about the romany site but if you log on to google and type ins something about Romany ancestors, or something similar it will bring it up, If I find the actual web address I will let you know, but your first task is to find out where in I reland your family came from, difficult but not impossible
