Gypsies are a group that originate from North India and stay very mobile, never settling in one place. They are known as Romani (or Roma) in Europe, where they have lived for many centuries.

What started them and continues to move them on this endless trek?

Which sucks because a lot of ignorant people think that anyone from Romania is a Roma.

So how did the travelers (tinkers) become associated with Gypsies.
