My Ancestors were ... Gypsies by Sharon Sillers Floate (3rd Edition)

My Ancestors were ... Gypsies is a comprehensive and accessible guide for anyone tracing Romani or Traveller ancestry in Britain. Written by Sharon Sillers Floate, a specialist in the field since 1992, this third edition has been fully updated to reflect the growing availability of online records and new research resources.

The book challenges the long-standing myth that Gypsy ancestry is impossible to trace. Instead, it offers:

• Practical guidance on using civil registration, census, parish, and court records
• Tips for identifying Romani surnames and occupations
• Insights into the social history of Gypsies in Britain
• Case studies and examples to illustrate research techniques

Published by the Society of Genealogists, this edition is an invaluable tool for family historians and anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of the Romani people
