I wonder (since he had claimed to be a gypsy) if he could trace his way back to those English gypsy-type wanderers? (I forgot their name--someone help me out here; Clinton was accused of having come from them).

For the U.S. you might start with Irish Travellers, Murphys and McDonalds.
Brad Pitt took a role in a low budget English film in which he played an Irish Traveller type in England. Maybe that was "Snatch." Not a bad flik.

The Gypsies are originally from The Indus Valley.(In India)
Thousands of years ago 10,000 at a time were given away by their king to the kings of other nations. The gypsies we are familar with were the descendents of those given to the king of Iran who escaped and settled in Egypt.
Once they began to migrate out of Egypt and into Europe, the Europeans thought they were Egyptians and called them 'Gypsies.'
