Information AboutRomnichal |
|
The Romnichals or '''Romnichels''' are a series of groups of Roma (also known as Gypsies) originating in the United Kingdom. They (and their descendants) are also to be found throughout the United States . In the United States there are several major locations of settlement, including the metro St. Louis area, near the Wisconsin Dells , Louisiana , Florida , and Pennsylvania . They often marry between the ages of 16 and 20, some to clan members or to distant relatives, but inter-clan marriage also occurs. Common Romnichal Family Names are Wells, Stanley, and Jeffery. Some Romnichels do maintain a semi-nomadic life, preferring to live in trailers so that they can move around, but others have settled down more permanently. Regardless, they do tend to remain in groups of members sharing the same ethnic background. References
