It has been hard doing the genealogy for this family.Because they are Gypsies, they are very private and most didn't get formal schooling so they can't write, therefore records were not kept.All we know is what was told in stories so we don't know if they are true or not.Supposedly, my husband's great-great Moosha (gpa) and his pregnant wife were coming to America on a boat that had to stop for wood.When the boat stopped, the wife went into labor and had a baby.The name was supposedly Jovanovich, but I would assume the name would have been shortened to Jovan instead of Jones.No one knows what part of Romania they came from, and I can't even find any ship records that would match anything.
