also, DNA tests are extremely expensive.
even if you found someone willing to fund such research,
the SAMPLE POOL is too uncertain to determine an accurate hypothesis.
(at least on the Traveler's end, that is)

Good Lord. Learn how to use punctuation. Your post is nonsensical without it.

I have had the pleasure over the years to Know a few travlers. There are many different tribes, as I was told by a English travler name Harrison. He was a hard worker and took good care of his mother til she passed away.

I know of another tribe and they were for sure to take a brush or comb for, they thought, free. This was when they would go in to a hair salon to have their hair styled. They were good tippers, and very pleasant to talk with. I guess they felt the tip would cover the brush, HAHAHAHA...........

After communion, the priest announced that one of the chalices was missing. I looked back and all of the gypsies were gone. I dunno if it was them or how they did it, but it's just speculation.
