hello, wouldn't know if we are related at all, but family lore says that my g.g.grandfather was a true Romany, so how do you trace any details from their line?

There is a Romany and Traveller family history society and a Gypsylore society jornal at Liverpool University and some other libraries

Was your father a real Gyspie King? If so we may be related somewhere along the line. I have found out that I am related to a "Real" Gypsie queen on my maternal side by the name of Slaughter, Brady, Eden etc. You can email me at [email protected] if you would like to chat.
