Answer 1
In Spain, highly likely some "Gypsies" are in fact descended from Sephardic Jews; some sephardic Jews thought it would be very clever to simply find a traveling band of Gypsies and join them. However, the problem with that theory is that a very large percentage of Gypsies are all "J's" genetically speaking. Haplogroup J is the Y chromosomal genetic marker used to label people of near eastern and eastern mediterranean heritage and its found throughout that area. In fact, Saudi Arabia (the natives) is almost exclusively J and various versions of it. Among the Gypsies, I think the rates of "J" are as high as 30% in some communities.
Answer 2
While it may have occurred incidentally, that Jews became Romani (often called Gypsies), it is almost unheard of. Romani are an Afghan people that have their own cultural identity as opposed to Jews. Gypsies also have their own unique religious elements that they mix with ideas from the religions that prevail where they live, creating hybrid Romani-Catholic or Romani-Protestant faiths. There is no Romani-Jewish faith since Romani are not common in Israel.
Jews and Romani are usually grouped together because they were both seen historically in a bad light by the Christian majority, especially for being "lecherous on society". However, the two groups have little in common as concerns their traditions, cultures, and supernatural beliefs. Especially troubling to Jews is the Romani penchant for sorcery, which is explicitly banned in the Jewish Bible.
