Question:

Is there anyway to find out if im really part romani (gypsy)?

a couple years ago, my mom told me that the part of Italy her part of the family came from, Roseto, not rosetta, was invaded by the roma about 100 years back. well a few months ago, i askd her how she knew, n she said that ppl used to tell her she look gypsy, n she told her mom (my grandma who came ova from italy) about that, n my grandma told her about the stories passed down through our family thru generations. ontop of dat, when i was a lil kid, i really had a thing for Indian culture, especially Rajsthan (one of the origins of roma (gypsy), n i speak Gujrathi...couple ppl told me i got Punjabi feautures...but when i ask my mom about it...like yesterday i askd her about it (a lotta ppl tell me im in a fantasy world about bein gypsy), n now she say she aint fa sho that we gypsy...just that a bunch a roma came through southern italy, includin the village my family from (Roseto), n rapped a lotta da woman. is their anyway to find out if im romani or not? anyone know about Italian roma?
