Gypsies - Contemporary performers - A heritage of Charlie Chaplin, Elvis Presley, Yul Brynner, Michael Caine

Elvis, from my wallet

Elvis - heartpittypat? Not really. The hair was alien to my group, our loss. Rankism.

This from my old wallet growing up, a memorable hint of a lip-curl from a vending machine at an amusement park in the 50's, offered here as a fair use, a gift from Elvis to me, personally - see the signature? There! see .bitlaw.com/copyright/fair_use.html. Elvis apparently has Gypsy heritage - see him and other Gypsies in our era - in "Famous Gypsies" at ://www.imninalu.net/famousGypsies.htm.

There are lists of Gypsy war heroes, Nobel Peace Prize winners, performers, musicians, scientists, writers, state presidents, sports figures, pioneers, journalists, adventurers, members of parliament, clergy, war heroes, fashion designers, and flamenco; and by country of birth. Go to //www.imninalu.net/fG_countries.htm.

And among them, are listed Charlie Chaplin, Elvis Presley, Michael Caine, and others. Someone else please check all these - I have not gone beyond the site.

Roots are good. Surnames can be clues. One of mine puts us with Old Norse words for cormorant, and those birds throw up a lot. The surname "Romney," as in Mitt Romney, may have gypsy roots as a variation of "Rom'nie" and even the word "Romney itself, see Gypsies, Roma and Surnames" here for a walk in that direction. Roots are good because it may start an interest in furthering the interests of particular groups now of interest personally.
