Plenty of Gypsies here.

Could be, Arapu surname in the village confirms that, in which case this dude managed to not come from a mixed lineage. But there also seem to be influences from Suceava-Botosani (Ababii/Ababei) and Russian-Ukrainian (Iacovlev, Zubenco, Lisnic) there. The other village in Calarasi district is recorded by Zamfir as Romanian, Ukrainian, Rusyn mix. But then again, his particular admixture doesn't reflect strongly on having any kind of recent foreign influences.
Aspirin, why won't you confirm or disprove the rumors that you have been tested? Many people are wondering.
I know, and I didn't mean it like that. We have yDNA academic samples from Sofia btw and they didn't find anyone with haplogroup H, which is typical of Roma people.

To be Gypsy admixed is not necessary to have H haplo, only an autosomal genetic test will give the answer.
Lol, if I will test myself, first I will post my results here (and on Balto-Slavica), but after that I will probably will leave forever this forum, since I already not very active here.
