I just uploaded the new Romany DNA project web site. The site is still under construction so bear with me while I spruce it up and add more content.

Ooh very exciting. 

I have had my mitochondrial dna tested and both my parents have had their full dna profile done so I would love to see other results (although I'm sure some people might have reservations).
My mum is 1/6 Indian and my dad is 1/10 (I always get that mixed up). Both have massive amounts of south-eastern European blood (my dads was 44% and my mums was 36% I think).

I am of the matrilineal line K. A lot of Finnish people have this as well and orginates in the Ukraine or there abouts and ends up in Northern Italy (approx. 25,000 years ago). I know there are a lot of Finnish Romanies so it is possible that as my ancestors were passing through eastern Europe (700 years or so ago) they married a woman descended from this ancient Eastern European and the people split up some of the descendants going north to Finland and my lot carrying on west.

No idea unfortunately although I should be able to get him tested - just a case of finding the time and funds. My dad is mainly Irish though especially on his dad's side, his mum's side is where he gets most of his 'foreign' blood.

Sorry just to add my nan just got tested and is almost 1/4 Indian and 39% Southeastern European.
