Matters are complicated by the fact that many American gypsies, when asked,prefer to identify themselves by national origin. America's Roma are divided into a bewildering array of ethnic and cultural subgroups from almost every country of Europe and the Middle East. Even Bill Clinton is said to have gypsy blood; his biological father, William Blythe, may have been one of the Blythe clan, a gypsy family from the Scottish borders.

It's all the same family, but Billzo's Blythe folks arrived quite early.
An interesting sidelight to all of this is his birth father's connection to the Church of the First born. It's an old cult, more American Indian in origin than European, and Billzo took care that they could continue to use peyote lawfully while he was President.
His grandmother was a fortune teller in a carnival. He traveled with his mother and grandmother in the summers.

Bubba's ancestry can be traced to the nearest putrid swamp.
