Genealogy / Looking for info on Romani name Goman and Siejanka Goman from a gravesite in one of Poland's cemeteries [33]
Hi all,
At the Bytom City Cemetery there is a gravesite of Siejanka Goman (born 1949, died 1954). She is known as the "Gypsy princess" and her tombstone erected by her parents states that she died a heroic death. I contacted the cemetery but they have no idea of the story behind her death. Does anyone have any information on her? Also, if possible, which Rom branch did the Gomans belong to? Were they travellers or settled folk?
Much obliged,
Kasia (I speak Polish, so if you feel more comfortable responding that way, it's OK)
