Question:

Were Pakistani's ancestors pagan Hindus or Arab settlers in India?

I want to trace my family name Qureshi- which I believe signifies Arab descent. Anyone know how I can do this?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Pakistani's are a cross breed between Semetic and Indian. Your name could be Arab or one of a host of other Semetic peoples.
One thing to remember - the name you have may not be the name of your paternal side progenitors. People change their names for many reasons.
