Travelling People / Re: Lambert Family
« on: Tuesday 18 August 20 22:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

Regarding gypsy heritage. The more I read, the more I believe Esther Campbell and William Lambert and other family members to be gypsies, but NOT of Romani descent. One piece of evidence is that I am 100% of European descent as per DNA results. There are gypsy groups that are of European descent - I am trying to figure out our specific gypsy families but as you know hitting brike walls due to lack of records - another clue to gypsy heritage. As Campbell is a Scottish name, I am going to start there. Let me know if you figure anything out.

Hello,

I believe my ancestors Alexander Campbell (abt 1795-1839) and Esther Whitney (abt 1797-1847) to be gypsies due to their professions (hawker, match maker) and that they lived in tents. All of their children were born in Hampshire, England.

1. I am understandably having difficulties determining their parents and ancestry (parents not mentioned in marriage documentation).

2. I am very interested in determining if they were in fact gypsies.

I would greatly appreciate any insight as this has been a brick wall for our family for a few decades.

Hello,

It would seem that provincial funding cuts have led to the cancellation of interlibrary loans in my area.
I am searching for someone to look up my family members in one book and hopefully help resolve some of many unanswered questions.

Thank you for your help.

I have been trying to find an free online version of New England Captives Carried to Canada.

I am looking for the lists of captives rather than searching by their names because I am not convinced they were taken where certain accounts mention.

I suspect that Katherine was not actually taken at Pemaquid. It would make more sense that she was taken much closer to home.

United States of America / Lists of American captives during King William's War
« on: Wednesday 24 April 19 21:28 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the lists of captives taken during the following three raids.

1.   June 27–28, 1689: Dover, New Hampshire (Cochecho Massacre).
2.   Jan 24, 1692: Raid on York, Massachusetts (Candlemas Massacre).
3.   August 2–3, 1689: Fort Charles, Pemaquid, then the easternmost outpost of colonial Massachusetts (present-day Bristol, Maine). (The Siege of Pemaquid).

Possible names I am looking for:
-Katherine Stevens b 1676
-Anne or Hannah Heard b 1681

I know these two ancestors ended up in Quebec. I am looking for where they were captured.
