Yes thankyou my Roma came out 13 percent on genomlink I also had south Slavic 9 percent and Asian and middle eastern DNA, scamp is another match for me on my heritage, also Lovell, and as for variations I have had buswell, bosworth, boss and others, the difficulty is I have a grandparent each on either side and both seem to have been taken and adopted, the Evans is my mother's father and that's Wales Montgomeryshire, the other was my father's mother, she was in Birkenhead Cheshire and raised by Wilson and Williams,she  married Harris, im on many Romany heritage groups on gedmatch and Facebook I have over 2000 matches some close as second cousin some farther away, I have price matches on the Welsh side, lee are fairly close varrious spellings

It is a good site to understand Welsh traveller groups.

As you have Welsh travellers, I would expect Boswell, Lee and Price. Not all who travelled were Romany.
