The Gypsy Lore Society: "Ludar
The Ludar, or 'Rumanian Gypsies,' also emigrated to North America during the great immigration from southern and eastern Europe between 1880 and 1914. Most of the Ludar came from northwestern Bosnia. Upon their arrival in North America they specialized as animal trainers and show people, and indeed passenger manifests show bears and monkeys as a major part of their baggage. Only a handful of items covering this group have been published, beginning in 1902. The ethnic language of the Ludar is a form of Romanian. They are occasionally referred to as Ursari in the literature."

Huh?, Where is this coming from? Just a little more background on how you got this would make me less curious.
Now why would I want to make you less curious?
How am I ever going to learn unless someone educates me?
