Hi
Anyone know how I could find out whether my g.grandfather, Thomas Shaw born 1862 Binfield Heath, Eye and Dunsden, Berkshire, whose family originated in Goring Oxfordshrie, truly had a Romany background? He was olive skinned, with dark hair and eyes and the story goes, that he wore gold ear-rings and had gold buttons on his coat.
Thanks Fogmog
