| I am born in Sweden , but not swedish .
My moyhers side are from finland , and my fathers from france .
My grandfather on my fathers side was walking about in Sweden and made baskets that he sold in the wilidges . In winter times he tok work for some farmer and was working in the forest .
When he married the socialworkers sad no to that kind of life , so they gave him a hous and job .
but my father was born in that log cabin , where they lived with many other men . My grandmother was cocking and cleaning . This was ca 1910-20 .
Today I am tired of people that know everything about you , just by looking . To afraid to stay and talk . I sometimes feel like I am in prison . My dream would be a home on weals and a hors in front . If uoy are living that kind of life feel fre to tell me about it O like to know more . How is it possible today and so on . |

| To respond to Kilby and others that are interested .
Ther are some gypsi families in Sweden , to of them are Swartz , they are from two families one from Finland and one from Germany .
Then ther are Dimiter-taikon with Katarina not alive any more and still living Rosa .
Katarina was famous for her boks about gypsi lifes and also the seris about katitsi . A childrens boks , they wher also used in shools for theaching about rasism and mobbing .
I think almost all girls in my age have at some point read Katitzi books .
She wher fighting for gypsi rights all her life .
Also her sister is strongli engage in politiks for helping gypsis and tattare our travellers .
She is also a famous jewellery maker , in silver like many in her clan . She has had exebisions in many museums and galleries , and sold jewellery all over the world .
They have ther own hompaiges .
Gypsies and travellers in Sweden has ther own assosiation for help , Resandefolket .
In februari was Rosa Taikon on tellevison and talkd about her life and her jewellery making .
So it is a ritsh comunity in Sweden for them thats interessded .
I like to tell so keep on asking pleas !! |
