This is a somewhat odd question but I thought I would ask everyone here who is of Roma\Traveller descent. Does anyone have a patch of brown skin like a birthmark?
The reason why I am asking is that I was watching the boxing with my boyfriend a few nights ago and Billy-Jo Saunders\Sanders (Traveller) has a similar one on his face. The reason why I noticed this was because many of my maternal family (mother and grandmother) have the same mark but in different places - my mothers is on her back, mine is on my knee, my aunt and grandmothers on their face. I'm in no way implying that I am related to him (although we do share a common surname in our ancestry which doesn't mean anything) - it just struck me as a coincidence and I thought I would ask if anyone else had or knew of the same or something similar.
