Yes, they are!
Has somebody information about the Jennish AND THEIR MUSIC?
May Bittel, a gipsy leader, clergyman and very good guitar player told me
once that they were lineage of Jews and Gypsies. But I couldn't get any
confirmation.
Many Jennish people live in Switzerland, where children were officially
raped from their parents and forced to a sedentary life in the sixties!
