White Wolf had two books on the subject of the Rom. (See below) But I always hear that WOD:Gypsies (Which I own) is out of print now and the other is Clanbook: Ravnos, which does ME little good. (If you know me, you know my views on the Kindred Prospective.) So I went out looking for information I could scrape together to make something more of a picture then what I could get from White Wolf. (Who did do a rather good job really.) Scattered through this list are also images and links dedicated to my Kumpania, The Warriors of the Burning Tears. (Also known as "Mirella and Her Goon Squad".)
This is what I found . . .
Patrin. THE classiest page I have yet to see.

--==Suggested Reading==--
For all you White Wolfians out there . . .
For a tad more then what you'll get out of WW.
(Many of the best books about the Rom, in my opinion anyway, are
either out of print, hard to find, or kinda expencive. Use the info from Amazon to make a scearch at your local Biblioteca easyer.)
--==Also take a look at==--
For the Draberne in all of us . . .
Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling: Incantations, Speciments of Medical Magic, Anecdotes, and Tales
Gypsy Folk Medicine
For a look at Kumpania life . . . maybe. ;)
