Thank you very much Mel, a great story for people to read, i see you have found dates to, i will take everything in and learn from such information, thank you, all of this informational research will now stay here and then other people may look at the hard work that you have done and then they to may also learn facts that may let them form a bigger picture, you know many people have wrote down the years about such things and offten in books, yet times moves on and books go out of print, we here on rootschat are doing our bit for the people like me who want to learn, sure there is nothing wrong with starting at the begining, every road must start somewhere. There is no dout in my mind we a looking at the Romany Gipsies of the old times in these story's, there may be many more Gipsies as old, we will see where the road leads, you never rearly know what may lay ahead, all you can do is set of and have ago, there will be many who went under the radar and just evolved without so many of the older ways, i am sure in what i am finding and what i have learned from listoning to others who have a close connection to old time family storys from past down oral talk, well i am sure the Herons have been about for a long time. I am cooking the dinner tonight so i will have to wait to write back in a day or so, with more story's, i am learning all the time, when this research is done the whole thread will be best read as one, and now Mel, you are the Star researcher, if you was here with me i would give you one of my chops, i,m cooking eight of them and mash potatoes, i will let the missus have two of them, merrm, well i don't want her to put to much weight on, the way i look at it i,m doing her a kind deed. I was going to write more on the Bosses next but seeing what you just found i will first show you more about the Herons in what i have found, then i will go back to the Bosses and write what i was going to put on next, then i will return to the Herons and more connecting names.
Thank you again for the great information about the times and history of these Great Gypsies i am sure their relatives who ever chance this way in the future will be most gratefull for you kind efforts and noble deeds in contributing too this ongoing research.
