Genealogy / Polish Gypsy Roots & Roma ancestors in their families [205]

well....
my grandmother is a gypsy, from somewhere around SokÓłka, i`ve never met her family even thou i wanted to. She married my grandfather who was polish,most of my grandfathers family didn't accept my grandma and i think she was rejected by her family for her marriage.

My grandma is a terrific woman, full of energy, passion, loves to dance and sing, she is stern and lovable.
she mostly raised me and my sister. when iI was 5 or 6 years old I went to Tarnów and stayed there for few months.
There I met great roma's , they had their own clubs, their own buildings, they welcomed us with open arms, we had a great time in there and made many friends,

my family always tells me that I inherited only one thing a gypsy soul and its magic, not the looks,

well I`m proud of who I am, even thou I am considered an outsider

human nature is a human nature, some will steal ,some will work through their culture and others will adjust to the world around and hopefully cherish their roots
