your story does not sound practible the roma back in 1916 kept very much to themselfs would never think about having afair with non gypsy in would desgrace the familey if sombody married a non gypsy im saying that would be impossible just unlikely as for roma stealing children that has rumor made by non gypsysies how that rumor got started was that roma had a lot of children and one or two would be blond blue eyes or red hair green eyes the rest would be dark complected so the non gypsy asumed the children were stolen
good luck with your search
