Famous Members

Quotation from Talk:Irish_Traveller:

Famous members include, according to the German Wikipedia, Marx Brothers, denoted wrongly (?) as Jewish by the English Wikipedia Marx Brothers.

Third largest?

"The Yeniche .. are the third-largest population of nomadic people .. in Europe." And the Romani must be the largest. But what group comes second? I am intrigued. Maproom (talk) 22:24, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Or the Sinti 71.220.158.14 (talk) 22:58, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

But the Sinti are a subgroup of the Romani. Maproom (talk) 12:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Sources

Proof for the statement "it is commonly believed that they are descended from Scottish Travellers." is missing. In continental Europe nobdy suggests they are remotely Scottish even. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4905:A1C3:3130:E0EC:E1CA:CCC2 (talk) 18:46, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

I removed this statement because I couldn't find any sources for this.TillF (talk) 20:19, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

The Yenish people themselves spoke of being descendants of the Celts, namely Swabi and Helvetii in southern Germany. Not sure if they were of British like Scottish origins to ended up in continental Europe. Or even "Swedish travelers" who went beyond Scandinavia who may have Sami-Laponid or Finnic connections. I'm not convinced they were partially Jewish or Roma(nies) anyway. The article stated the Yenish culture developed in recent times in European history. 12.218.47.124 (talk) 20:12, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Kinder der Landstrasse started

Hi, as still missing, tried to start Kinder der Landstrasse (the very impressing movie maybe later), using temporarly also the section Yeniche people#Switzerland. As not my usual 'focus' on WP-EN, for the time being and so there's more and information about (saw the 1992 film for the last time at its official audition) i'll try to expand, hoping and trusting 'til then' in your numerous support :-) Thank you and kindly regards, Roland zh 03:50, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi again, some additions done, as well as Kinder der Landstrasse (film), kindly regards, Roland zh 20:42, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

I found this story on the Badische Zeitung dated 10 September 2022 that commemorates the deportation of two people from the Yeniche group in the town of Lahr, Germany: Karl Trapp and Viktor Berger.
