RÉSUMÉ FACTS TO THE HISTORY OF GYPSIES (1596-1850) written by Tibor Iványosi-Szabó Gypsies have been living among us for some 400 years. Our history is interwoven in some ways. However, it is insulting how little is known about life, sturggles and growth of gypsy group living in Kecskemét. But not only we owe them more ways. The same has to be stated of other European nations where they have also been living. In the past two and a half century there have been more trials to solve troubles of this ethnic group on the given level. The result proved to be dissatisfactory because of joint effect of different causes. There was a lot left to be done in the coming decades. In present age when one is more sensitive to social matters it is a returning difficulty to assure gypsies rising in greater part of Europe. So this difficulty has become an international problem that needs collaboration of more nations and gypsies themselves. Almost in all cases solution could not have been reached because of contradictions in connections. They have been formed to a separated communty by their own culture, habits, traditions and prejudice. That is why aversion from them has been formed in almost all countries. Legal limits and being at the periphery of the society made them impossible to follow the rate of social and economic development. Up to date economy, modern knowledge and technic have step by step separated them from the whole society. Undoubtedly, a lot of unnecessary detour unavoidable without knowing their past and history of care about them. In many ways this material is only a beginning source and is not intended to be exhaustive. Present statement wishes to encourage and bring the work into focus to be done. The task is so huge that in a small treatment a trifling part of futie can be done only.
