...long hair, long skirts, lots of jewellery (preferably gold), high heels?
Hair and skin colour might vary a lot.
Nobody here said Gypsies are ugly. Most Gypsy girls are quite presentable or more - but they also age very fast, probably because most of them are married and pregnant by 15.
The main issue the Polish have with the Gypsies/Roma is not their looks or their background - it's their refusal to integrate, attend school, take a job, coupled with marriage at 15 and no education for girls, basically. Plus, sorry but it's true, lots of them earn their living through means not necessarily legal (understatement). Same situation here in the UK, where they emigrated as asylum seekers in the late nineties and claim to have "special rights" to this day, even though as EU citizens they have lost their refugee status. They want this, that, and the other - and fast - while not sending their kids to school (ask any attendance officer what ethnic group they visit the most) and not working if they can help it, definitely not working more than 16 hours a week. And they have the cheek to tell me stories about horrible Poles burning Gypsy children alive (this was supposed to have happened the week before last, somewhere in western Poland).

I dunno. I feel like most Polish people have darker features and brown/black hair. No joke out of 100 Polish people I probably see only 5 who are blonde but I see a fair bit who have very dark blonde/brown hair and dark eyes.
My dad has black hair, brown eyes, sorta pale skin.
My mum has Black hair, hazle eyes, olive skin
My sister has jet black hair, dark olive skin, dark eyes and other has dark brown hair, eyes, and pale/olive skin.
I have Dark hair, eyes, and dark skin

I was born blonde/ blue eyes. Then I went light brown , then a little bit darker but still with some blonde then I had blonde streaks put in.

Doesn't really matter does it whether you have brown hair or whatever colour hair or eyes does it ? Because at the end of the day you are Polish or you are not and if you are Polish you certainly know about it in many ways other than hair colour or eye colour !

I am trying to find my childrens' Polish Gypsy Roots. On their father's side, they are 100% Polish, black straight hair, black-brown or hazel eyes, olive complexion. The two names I have prior to emigration to America circa 1900 are: (I am spelling phonetically) 1) Cinarski, Cynarski 2) Legako, Legaco. These original two families (my husband's father and mother, respectively) were Roman Catholic & settled in/near Wellston Oklahoma circa 1900. I will be most appreciative of any information which might be given. Thank you.

More about their Polish names: Cynar, Cwynar, Dobkiewicz, Petrachevitch, Legako, Lejeko, Ligiejko.

Does anyone have info @ gypsy heritage related to the Polish names listed above?

Hello. Just browsing over your topic and found it rather interesting. My Grandfather is a Polish Gypsy. He was born in Poland and had two children, a daughter and a son, with my Grandmother who was also born in Poland. One of these children is my mother. Within a few years my Grandparents separated before my Grandmother took her two children and eventually moved to Australia in the early 1970's.
So, my mother and her parents all born in Poland. My father and his parents all born in Serbia. I, Goran, first born child in Sydney, Australia.
Last year, i found and went to visit my Polish Gypsy Grandfather. He now lives in Sweden. It was an amazing experience.

i think gypsies are like a cherokee shaman or a hippie or maybe like a witch its more of a ancestrial religion then anything. and its definately not an insult. im polish and i know that gypies are in poland but they are also other places too im not sure what the religion would be called, but like a witch is wicca or a jew believes in judahism being gypsie isnt a stereo type its who you are and what you believe in. im a mutt so i have czechslavokian, cherokee, polish, and black dutch. i was talking to this mediem and she asked me what my heratige was and i told her mostly polish and the other stuff and she said oh you must have gypsie in you, my aunt would have a sense the something was about to happen and 99.9 percent of the time it would happen i have preminotions like my grandmother did its like being a pagan or a witch

being called a gypsy is not and insult if you are a witch and you are called a worlock that would be insulting because in latin "worlock" means betrayor or deceiver

Not all Gypsies are criminals. There are criminals in every nationality and in every society. What is it about the word Gypsie that creates such animosity and deep seated hatred of them? Perhaps it is not the Gypsie but the person who views the Gypsie with a negative view. We are all God's children even Gypsies.[

True story: I went to the best childrens' hospital in GB, possibly Europe, yesterday, to interpret for a v. sick boy who was to be admitted for surgery. The staff had been trying to get him into hospital for several weeks at this point, there was always something amiss, the family didn't show up, or cancelled appointments etc. When the staff called and said they were from the hospital, the other side would hang up. Yesterday was no different, even though a day earlier the family had solemnly promised to be there with the child. Of course, I showed up, the clock ticked and tocked, and finally the nurse rang the family again, to be told that... they would not be coming. Why? Because they FORGOT. You can guess the ethnic origin of those people yourself.
I will not comment on this at all. But I think that some of the attitude they present here, and not only in this instance I can assure you, causes other people to view them the way they do.

Lucy Borik:

They are scum. Theft is a way of life for them, and they steal everything they can, from food to manhole covers and copper cables (to sell to companies that recycle metals). They have numerous offspring, they are illiterate, they don't bathe and subsequently smell like crap. None of them go to school, they don't have jobs and don't want to work. They literally live in garbage, usually around landfills. Their young are their primary source of income, in two ways: firstly, they are all on welfare and they get a certain amount of money every month for every "child", and secondly, they don't send their young to school but instead force them to beg and steal. Minors can break the law without any consequences, and the gypsies use this loophole to support their parasitic lifestyle. Some gypsies learn how to play a musical instrument (usually trumpets or accordions) and then play those instruments during celebrations of various kinds, hoping to get some money out of the drunken people at the celebrations. Most petty thefts (in excess of 99%) are committed by young gypsies, as are many other crimes. Their average IQ is about 70.
