Hi Bobby,

If you want to trace your family maybe you should start by getting the marriage certificate of your parents.  It may give you information to look further back.

Hi Jadz1975,

If you would like to post your Swales and other travelling family connections on this site  am sure it would be welcomed by Rootschatters.  We are always looking for information about them.

Cheers Val

hello  Johnny im replying to your post although i know its over 3 years old and you probably have all the info you need by now, but i wanted to confirm to you that yes these smiths are from gypsy stock and a hard lot to trace but me dads graet granny was mary smith born whitby abt 1860 she was daughter of thomas smith abt 1818 falsgrave, All my family are gyspsys and we still live this way of life today , mary married into another romany family , adams who are also realted many times to me and marys mother was a morrison another romany family, and then you have the swales and the whartons all linked not only this way to my family but over and over as cousins married cousins throughout , i know you will probably have also this info already but just wanted to let you know that yes these families are 100% romany and still are today, best wishes kath
