Travelling People / Re: 19th Century German gypsy!
« on: Thursday 05 November 20 12:25 GMT (UK)  »
Though I like to research before 1900 in Germany in the early 1930's was a Gypsy Boxer named Johann Trollmann he was also known as the Boxer Dancer and also as Rukli this name referred to his Sinti roots, he was killed or perhaps I should say murdered by Hitler's Mob who did not like the idea of a Gypsy winning fights against an Aryan race.

Hi Romany Knaves. I would message you via the chat but there seems to be an error on the website. I was wondering if you could help. I am writing my dissertation on the dying age of Nomads and tying it in with todays social culture. My Grandfather passed before I had the honour of meeting him but he himself was a traditional romany traveller. I have grown hearing wonderful story's of our family's endless pilgrimage but sadly have no photographs. I am interested in all of my heritage and was wondering if you have any imagery I could look at? it would be great talking to you!
