Title: Romany folk of Kent, Sussex, & Wales
Post by: rebekahm28 on Saturday 28 June 08 18:17 BST (UK)
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. ;D

Hi Rebeka

You should delete your email address from your message, as you may otherwise be deluged with spam.

You can be in touch with other Rootschatters by PM (personal message) and pass on your email address to them there.

Hope this helps, good luck with your researches!

 :(   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?

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!!.
