Hi all, I am new to all of this. I have been researching my family tree on my fathers side for some time, he was part of what we thought were a Romany family they married into many other Romany families in the UK. It is a pretty large family and it goes a fair way back, just by looking at names etc you can tell they are travellers names with lots of documentation of their travels, then over a couple of generations some Lords and Barons appear, so I am unsure if the tree is correct in this area. There has always been talk within the family that we originated from France possibly with a connection to Royalty although I know this may well be gossip. Having spoke to another researcher he seemed to think that the Romani people that originated in India were J2 or Hia mine is r1b1a2a1a2a1b-3 so now I am wondering if my family line are true Romani or not, many of our family are olive skinned with dark hair. I would like to learn more about my forefathers but unsure of the next steps to take, any advice would be great.
