@LadLiam what was the family name and where were they from? That would be a good place to start if your family are romani do you still have the language Mherime culture?
hi folks, i'm just on a bit of an outreach truth be told, i've recently discovered i have romanichal blood (sounds a bit crap maybe) anyway, i'm on an outreach for my roots and the family are reluctant to mention yunno. Anyone have any ideas how i can get more "in touch" so to speak. Thanks all :) x
@Dividyneh yes they are a bit whiter but still romanies or sinti even have seats in the International Romani Council not Roma though. Only Eastern European gypsies are Roma.
@saxsteadwba yes and no, highland travellers are a seperate group. lowland gypsies like the kennedys, faa or recently descendents of english and welsh romanies are in scotland too. highland travellers that speak gaelic and irish travellers arnt. they are non-gypsies who took up the lifestyle.
so the romanichal people can trace their ancestry from northern india, does this apply to all travellers e.g the scottish gypsies with scottish surnames?
Its a Roma cultural trait Sinti, British Romanichal, manouch and spanish kale were like that too some 200-300 years ago but have learned other trades and such. Also some Roma will have been brought to the west to steal by criminal gangs there was a documentary about it a while ago. Roma are being exploited but are under pressure to beg also most are unskilled and know no better. While others are decent and work hard for their families.
No sinti, manouch, spanish kale, british Romanichals are not Roma we are a branch of the romani people as they are but not the same. I guess the two groups have similar ancestry and languages but culturally they are different. Not any less a gypsy and not any less Romanies but different. Languages are different too I as a British romani speaker can hear some words of my romanies in the Roma language, but it is different. I guess both groups have spent so long apart but are similar in some ways.
