I talked to my mom lastnight... for four hours!!!! :) I found out that I am Eftavagarja ("the Seven Caravans") Romani, or Sinti, not Roma as I was previously told. Then again, the term 'Roma' is often used rather loosely (and inaccurately) to describe all Romani.
Unfortunately, I did find out some bad news. My grandmother has passed away. I was able to get family names and I am hoping I can research even further back via census records.
