summation for tonight...although I hope this thread continues. I am interested in these peoples.

On another thread, I saw a post from Freeper (sorry that I cannot remember your name) that the gypsies were contracted by hire to make the nails that were to nail Jesus to the cross. This poster said that the gypies made all of them except the gold one that was meant to peirce Jesus heart. In a secret deal, they were told that if they forfeited and reniged on the deal...that they would have sanction from g-d that they could steal and theive forever, without guilt.

This has my interest.

The legend about being given license to steal by Jesus himself, I think that is about Romanian Gypsies.

I knew some Travelers when I grew up in Georgia (Their compound is just across the river in South Carolina).
Its true, they seem to be nice, likable people. But then the best con men are. I wonder if this clan has a branch in say, oh, Hope, Arkansas.

I am curious as well. I will ask my 94-year-old grandmother what she knows about this topic.
