Gosh, have not visited this forum for quite a long time! Just to say, I have managed to aquire a few old sepia photos of Grandmother Chilcott and all but one of her brothers and sisters. Photos like these have been almost impossible to get hold of.( Long story! )
She was olive skinned and always kept out of the sun, as I recall, and one brother looks similar. The others are dark skinned and dark haired.
I never met any of my Great uncles and aunts. I still don't know if they actually were Romany or not, but they sure look like Romany people.
I may never find out why my family history was either hidden or destroyed.
Anyway, I feel I can genuinely describe myself as Diddikai.
Not 'part this', or 'half that'. I have survived this far, and I am a Diddikai STAR.
Blessings.
