Ladies and Gentlemen, this weeks Scavenger Hunt will test you all to the fullest.
I've printed out Tiggi's information in full as I do believe you could get totally lost without it. You've had challenges before, but this one is the challenge to beat all challenges.
Good Luck..........and Good Hunting.
*********************************
My family were BUCKLAND Romani people
I would like to find them before 1857 I have not found any records before this date.
No-one, even experts have been able to find family connected to Tenet & Plato ( brothers) so if anyone can do this it would be a great find .
My Great Great Great grandfather was Tenet Buckland born abt 1831 England ( not known where)
He married Keziah ( Kagar) possibly Jeffs or Jeffery born 1832 England ( not known where)
I would love to know where they were born or married anything about Jeffery family too.
