He worked in the arab world, i think in iraq, and he said some arabs, told him he can pass, and they didnt believed him he is yugoslav, they said he is a arab himself who fools them that he is a yugoslav. He told me that as kid. He also said that gypsies are arabs, and the cergari are indians, some gypsies call some other gypsies cergari, cerga means caravan, the settled gypsies call the initerant gypsies cergari, so my family calls them cergari, and that is suppossed to be a slur.

I mean it is not true that any or the settled gypsies are arabs, they have the same dna components as the itinerant ones, but all gypsies also have middle eastern dna and greek dna, in combination that could result in a type of western shifted northindian look or even arab look?

Here is my maternal grandfater with my maternal grandmother, he had a mustache like saddam hussein

I mostly agree with Florstadt; your grandmother I would think is a gypsy or an Indian, but I have seen men that look like your father with longer faces/their eyes are a big 'higher up' on their face. I would say 'Turkish' but honestly he doens't look thattt Turkish, I just think of everyone who looks a little Arab but not quite as Turkish xd

It is not my father but my grandfather, and that is not my mother but my grandmother. I do not think my grandmother looks indian not in the sense that she looks less westerneurasian shifted then my grandfather or more aboriginal and darker, maybe in the second pic because it is very darkened, and bad quality, but she was lighter and more westerneurasian shifted then even my grandfather.

Apart from the woman with the boy, the other 3 women can pass as Indian.
And your grandfather can pass in Iraq i think. And his wife as North Indian
