Ok i know this one because i work with people who do Renaissance history research. Forgive spelling by the way.

Gypsy's are a group of people who where basically tinkers in the Moldavia, Wachallia, and Transylvania area. A large portion also came out of Russia. Now known as Romanian. They where ran out of the area some by the locals others buy incoming Turks, who enslaved them because of their abilities with fixing things and metal working.

As these "Gypsy" took off throughout Europe all the way into England. They found they where not liked much because of certain factors i can't remember off the top of my head.

They where asked for papers or asked where they where from and they told people they where Egyptian. Which they where not but did not stop people from believing them. In time this went from Good Egyptian to Gyptian on to modern Gypsy.

The Gypsies in europe can trace their origin from India.

I think their origins are in India. There are many groups of Gypsies with their own languages; I think the highest concentration is in Eastern Europe.

I can tell you nobody knows for sure. Some claim Egypt, some India... But they live almost everywhere in Europe, and they are in great numbers in Romania (I should know, it's my country), and so many have no ID or even birth certificate, so nobody can actually keep track.

the evil gypsys reside in the forest, do not go near their domain, they will kill thee, shrink thy head, and use thine fingers in theyre gypsy stew broth. if thou must venture into the forest keep a bottle of virgin tears round thine neck and douse the evil beings if they try to attack thee, chop off thier heads and bring them back to thy village, thou shalt be praised by the locals and will be given thy choice of women from the chieftains daughters
