The Churari clan members from the border of Romania and Hungary immigrated to the United States - one settlement being in the Buckeye neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. Known as " woodland " gypsies the Churari are very creative and artistic. They made paintings, woodcarvings, icons, garments, etc.

They were also known as " seers " able to tell of future events.... from knowings, dreams etc...

The Chur ( Kur ) religion is a mixture of christian ( Orthodox Christianity ) and eastern ( Hindu ) practices. They believed in not only their resurrection to be with the Lord Jesus Christ but that also that they would be reincarnated.
