Dianne has asked me to pass back her thanks to the list with a general appeal if anyone ever spots Romanys or Travellers. - Note her address in the middle of the message! Marilyn ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Can I say a big thank you to everyone who responded with info about the DRAPERs, LOCKs and gypsy references. I'm Treasurer of the Romany and Traveller Family History Society (RTFHS) <http://website.lineone.net/%7Ertfhs/> http://website.lineone.net/~rtfhs/ and as fellow ancestor hunters will appreciate tracking travelling ancestors isn't easy as they moved around a lot, and also used a variety of surnames depending on who wanted to know :-). RTFHS welcome any references to Gypsies and travellers and these can be sent to me Dianne dot Sutton at Tesco dot Net and I'll pass them on to be added to our database. We are also interested in any locations that refer to the travelling community such as "Gypsy Lane" or "Tinkers Bridge" and any info about regular stopping places. Thanks again Dianne
