My Grandma was a Romani Gypsy lady of Stow-on -the - wold, Irene (Rene) Trott. They did settle down, however still of the blood and spirit. Very proud of my family heritage.

What our academics fail to tell us is that English, French, Italian and German are also all languages that originate from the Sanskrit.

They look more like those Gypsies that have married into Roma, I used to know loads of Showman Guild Travellers, some are still alive, but most have gone now, there were 2 families that were Gypsies, and they spoke Roma when talking to each other, the word was daughters could not marry outside of Roma, if they married outside of Roma they were no longer Gypsy, just plain travellers, they would not be totally disowned, talk to each other, but for help that would be another thing, to look at those family members would have black or nearly black hair with a small wave in the hair, dark tanned skin, dark brown eyes It was these people who told me that there is only one full-blooded tribe of Gypsies left in the world, the only tribe that stayed with-in a certain area or part of a country, they are known as the Cobra Tribe in North-West India, and they had connections to them, all the other Tribes push out of their areas and started to wonder the world

There may have been people coming from India, could have been the Jewish people who traveled to India with Saint Thomas, but the confusion comes when authorities called Gypsies and Romany Travellers, facts are real Travellers and Romers are true Britons, who carried on traveling away from the settlements forced on Britons by William the conquer, the traveling people have more in common with the jewish culture, cooking, cleaning, dressing. Don't allow others to label.
