Jenny and Magda's parentage?

[kuanyin]

This wasn't the Dinah Shore story was it?

No, that one was completely untrue. She was very hurt by it and it did hurt her career. Where it came from is anybody's guess.

A friend told me about a family she knew. It illustrates  genetics in a fascinating way. African American father, Swedish mother had four girls. One looked black, one looked Swedish and two appeared mixed.

As for Jenny and Magda, it would also be entirely possible to have same parents and one looked like Magda and one like Jenny. I have seen many families like that.

It's DS writers imagination (or lack thereof) that led us to believe Roma people are all dark skinned and dark haired. . they aren't --sooo Jenny would be fine.  Magda and Sandor were the stereotypes.

sorry i'm not up on them but would have liked to have known the history of their family tree. it is more often
that families with mixes(like mine and a lot of Americans) have children that may look different
i look Italian , olive skinned dark hair my sister got the fair  skin and hair but it is less common to see two parents of the same heritage having children of such a contrast as those two. the rest of that tribe King J, Julianka ect are dark.but as my daughter says we're
all related anything possible!
just don't think the writers thought that much about it they used whatever actors they had and changed the storyline around week to week!

I had originally thought the gypsies came from the Rumania area of the world.  Brown hair, brown eyes and olive complected.  However, someone recently told me the following and I cannot confirm if it is true or not.  There is a group, which made national headlines very recently, made up of people who travel around in caravans if you will (cars/trucks) and do odd jobs for a living.  This group has had numerous run ins with the law for con-games and that sort of activity.  Some of these folks are blonde/blue eyed.

Many years ago I worked in a hospital as a Business Office Cashier.  Well, a 'King' or high-ranking gypsy was in our hospital so the tribe(?) more or less camped out in our lobby and made everyone nervous.  The boss kept telling us to lock everything up or it would disappear.  Well being very young at the time,  I was wide-eyed in awe of these people (especially some of the handsome young men) but I managed to keep my wits about me along with all of my possessions: - )

You're referring to the "Travelers" as they are commonly known.  They most recently came to national attention because that young mother who was caught on a security camera smacking her little girl senseless, was a member of a Traveler family.   Around here, they've been implicated in home improvement scams on elderly people. I'm pretty sure this group never set foot in Romania....they all had Irish names....which pretty much proves nationality hasn't got a damned thing to do with it!

    Raineypark is correct.  Irish Travelers are not Rom Gypsy.  For more information www.shamrockshop.com/Information/Heritage/Irish%20abroad.htm
