I’m a Boswell my names Ayla Boswell and the last known gypsy from the family is my great great grandad

[@richardboswell9306]

What you mean gaill your great grandad was the last gypsy it don't make sense you a boswell as is me and my grandad who is 60yrs richard boswell iwrite this because he can't read or write very well

[@ayla2316]

@@richardboswell9306 Yh my great great grandad was a gypsy and there’s many Boswells out there I dunno his name but from what I’ve been told he got killed in ww2 my great grandad was in a concentration camp during this and didn’t label himself as gypsy aftwr that neither did the rest off the fam that’s all I know so I’m guessing something went down that stopped everyone from referring themselves as gypsy I dunno though that’s only on my dads side my mums side is Hispanic so there is no links there to gypsies

[@pegknife]
