I have a chimney sweep, that had 4 son's, one i know followed in his father's footstep's, now trying to find another one of the son's, the closest i have come up with is a carpenter, bearing in mind back in them day's being a chimney sweep was a common occupation of Gypsy's,i also have a lot of hawker's and flower seller's other gypsy trade's. So what are the chance's of one of the son's being a carpenter. Anyone help Shan

Shan That's guesswork, and your guess, my guess and someone else's guess are likely to be equally valid. You don't want chances, you want facts. The question to ask is how can you confirm/reject the carpenter as your relative? Helen

Shan Live in hope if you die in despair as my Mum always said. But hope isn't an authentic proof and you don't want to go barking up the wrong family tree, do you! Even if the carpenter is using it for wood, ha ha. Helen
