Hi all. I've been researching my romani roots and here's what I know thus far . Surnames : Harrison , Barron, connelly and Boyle. I know some of them are Irish, the only ones I know that are used by romani are Harrison and sometimes Barron , though is it possible for the others to be romani even if they have those other surnames ? Occupations of the Harrisons' included, tinsmith, farm labour, domestic servant , labourer, telegraph messenger . 1901, the wife and husband couldn't read . Barrons' occupation included, black Smith, dress maker , pottery worker , pottery karker (i don't know what "karker" means) , some couldn't write . I really want to learn more about the romani , my older family members don't talk about it . We still have some superstitious, some are Irish but others are not to my knowledge, like shoes on the table is bad luck . We take superstitious pretty seriously, "no point on letting bad luck into your life if you can prevent it ". My mother is very spiritual as well, she saw the future before and has a very good sense of things , and yes I know this isn't all what roma is dont get me wrong. Could someone tell me about other roma things we may partake in without realising ?
