hi there.... as you can see my middle name is Talmage.... I beleive from what my fathers grandparents have relayed to him is that we are Romani gipsys..... Talmag was a surname before the Agian war... the same as Stok, Lock.... but after this time the applied an "E" to the end of names such as TalmagE, StockE etc etc....Not sure if that has given yu anymore of an insight...if you know any different...let me know...ThanksGeoff
