So there is a big “gypsy camp” as it is called around here, that is near me in Spiro, OK. Some of my followers who live near me may know what I am talking about. I believe they may be of Romani descent, after doing a small bit of research. But that could be completely wrong, I have no idea what…
Romanichels or Irish Travellers, quite possibly a mix of the two. We have quite a few Irish Travellers around here, same surnames, who were responsible for one of the largest insurance frauds in the nation. It was insane. Happened a couple years ago and it was all over the news. BUT thats not the point, lol. I might be wrong, but it seems like, in the USA, that Irish Travellers are more represented than Rroma? As a Rromani woman I know I hear of, and encounter more Irish Travellers (who are now Scot-Irish Americans).
There are also Irish Traveller groups in Norman OK, and quite a few in AZ. Down here, they live in Georgia and the Carolinas mostly.
