Whatever the surname of your Romany or Traveller ancestors, you are sure to find a reference or two in this new Collection – and in some cases a complete mini-biography.
Keith Chandler was originally on the hunt for Romany musicians but couldn’t resist also collecting and researching other travelling people he came across. The result is a Collection of thousands of individuals that Keith has kindly donated to the RTFHS for everyone to share and gain from.
