People have never understood that there are blonde Romany. One of the reasons people kept thinking they'd found Elsie Paroubek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsie_Paroubek), back in 1911, was the presence of blonde children in Romany caravans. The newspapers kept playing up "the natural love of the wandering people for blue-eyed, flaxen-haired children." Police finally caught on that most of these actually were not kidnapped outsiders. In fact, the best known case of a verified kidnapped outsider was Lillian Wulff, who was dark.
