My great-grandmother's brother, Danny Hunt, married Louisa, her granddaughter. My nan was always very proud of the fact that we were related to her. I thought we were descendants but when I started researching, the truth came out ... by marriage only.

ReplyDeleteI only discovered my Roma history this year, 2021. Urania (Rania) Lee (Queen of the Gypsies) is my 3rd cousin 5x removed. I'm researching still and came across your blog,
