Hi Tony, Hi Trevor,

Just a thought: 
In the RootsChat Database for Speicial Interest Groups (DBSIG) we have a section for
Watermen (Canal and Riverboat people).
http://surname.rootschat.com/lexicon/dbsig/index.php

No RUGGs there at the moment, but why not add your entries for future searchers :)

regards,
Bob

Hi Bob
I looked in the special interest so as to register the name Rugg but it states that you have to have
made two post.
Also is there any section for old French water Gipsies I have ancestors in France with the name of Margrie
