Romany folk of Kent, Sussex, & Wales

[rebekahm28]

Im directly descended from the Roberts of Kent/Sussex, and later of Glamorgan.  Associated branches of the family are the Beeney's, Ripley's, Bexell's, Elliott's, Wilson's, O'Shea's, and Egerton's. I have a comprehensive tree on Tribal Pages if anyone thinks we may have a connection.

    Me and Wetpaint dont seem to work, I can never get my password or username to be accepted.  The site looks brilliant and Snippets is a star for putting it all together, I think there's a wee ghostie in my PC who doesn't want me to go on it tho!

I have some Roberts in my tree but have got as far as putting them on the new site yet.

I have Frederic Robert b c1824 in Somerset and his wife Rebecca and loads of children some of whom were born in the USA. Does this tie up with you at all?

[rebekahm28]

Wish it did ring a bell DevonBlue but I don't have any Roberts from Somerset or the States as far as I know.

Hi Rebekahm28
are you still having trouble joining the new site!, if so exactly what is happening when you try to join, that way i can search or ask Wetpaint about the problem, it may be that your computers protection (Firewall) is stopping you from joining!!.
