I care!

Really appreciate all the pioneering work you're doing in the US census. Very few folk have done this before.

I feel the issue is that some researchers aren't aware of the massive exodus of British Gypsies to the USA and Canada in the mid to late-19th century and so tend to ignore the sources available to them in North America that could hold valuable family information - even if their own direct ancestors didn't venture abroad.

For example, on the Nixey Lovell you flagged up to me the other day in an American census: a subsequent search on Ancestry revealed the death certificates of both him and his wife (Florence Smith) in Kentucky, complete with the names of both parents - a massive bonus in fitting them into the Lovell and Smith families they left behind.

Also, you find that the American press had a special fascination with the English Gypsies. I have gathered 19th century and early 20th century newspaper reports on them from (free) online sources – even photos of them and their encampments in some cases.
This one's a good one: [url=http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/eagle/

Keep up the great work!

Thanks.

Hi Sharon
Thank you, if my work has helped even 1 person then it wasn't in vain.

You are very correct, many do not know of this migration. This is why I am making it my goal to transcibe every record I can lay my hands on to wake up a whole community.
It is high time to wake up and smell the coffee! lol.

Ok, I have taken all the Ameican Gypsy census records and then some that wasn't posted here and put them to a web page.

http://lockeroots.home.comcast.net/~lockeroots/GypsyCensusRecords.html

As I find more records, I will add to that page, so keep watch for updates.
