LOVE the pic...esp. the title! *lol* Roma's...is that the "other" title given to Gypsies? I think that's what I've heard. Either way, wonderful shot and thanks for the census info, always interesting.

Here's a picture of one of his ancestors:

www.columbia.edu/cu/news/01/02/imperialRome.h tml

If your photo was taken in Transylvania, then probably this man's name was Octavian, Tiberiu, Lucian, or Iuliu - but his hat and the way of wearing it come from his Dacian ancestors, the people conquered by the Romans over two thousand years ago.

Wonderful photo!
