There's Irish-American Traveler's, and a few from Ireland it's self, in the US. Come out, usually in spring and summer, with their con and fraud games.A lot in SoCal. In fall and winter they take their RV's and winter in the south, where some strong roots are. Kids don't always go up high in school because they mostly travel around all the time. Rely on the own language when non Travelers are around. Something like a old Gaelic, I have been told. Very clan-ish. They intermarry with other family's to make bonds stronger. Some marriages are setup when the kids are very small. Stealing is a natural learning process for them, from an early age. The Gypsy tribal society has been around for well over 1000 years. Irish are the white version.
