I was looking for help on Romany surnames and came across a thread on here where one of my great uncles was mentioned on a "London Romany hawkers" list. It helped solved the mystery as to whether or not my great-grandmother had Romany heritage, which has always been a long topic of debate in my family! I've found the site very useful, especially for lookups and identifying brick walls in my family tree (particularly my paternal side, as I never knew my father, so didn't have anything apart from my father's name and surname to go on).
