Hi!.

I like this kind of topics!. Now a days it is hard to talk about purity of race, lots of us are a mixture and as the time passes by this fact is going to get bigger!.

Mixture of races is very healty and oftenly produces better results!.

I have spanish, french, some italian and some indian blood just like you!.!.

Well, I'm of mostly European descent, but even there, there's some diversity!. I'm part English, part Irish, part Scottish, and part Welsh!. I'm also part French, part German, and part Swedish!. In addition, I have an ancestress who was a full-blooded Cherokee!. Most of my ancestors (with the possible exception of my Swedish great-grandmother) were already on the North American continent by the time of the American Revolution!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cultural or ethnic mix!?

Culturally, I guess I would be Turkish and American -- whatever that means!. My country of origin is Turkey, but I grew up in the U!.S!., and I have elements of both cultures!.

But, I am guessing that you too are American, so your question really seems to be about ethnic mixture!. And, for most Turkish people, to try and figure out our exact ethnic mixture is one of the most difficult questions due to lack of records and everybody just being "Turkish"!. Although I am happy to be "just Turkish", I sort of would like to know where did my great-great-grandparents *really* come from -- considering that we are an obvious mix!

So, I have to go by very limited information that has passed down: An interesting thing I know is that my maternal grandfather's grandfather emigrated from Yemen during Ottoman times and that they were considered "White Arabs" or "Tall Arabs" (beyaz Araplar veya koca Araplar)!. Most of my second cousins from that part of my family are tall, with blue eyes, and pale skin!. My maternal grandfather's family in general is considered "White Arab" as well!. Some pictures of my mother's aunts really do resemble Elizabeth Taylor in her Cleopatra days!.

My maternal grandmother's father is from the city Konya and my maternal grandmother's maternal grandmother is from the village Hotamis connected to the Konya province!. Hotamis is known as a Turkmen village with later Kurdish elements, and my maternal great-grandmother looked like a blonde-haired, green-eyed Chinese woman!.

My paternal ancestry is fairly Turkic, as both of my father's parents are from historically Turkmen, Afsar, or Karamanid villages connected to Konya and Karaman!. Many of my relatives from my father's side resemble either Native Americans or Afghans near the Turkic republics!.

So, I guess that makes me "Turkic and Arab", and yet people much more often ask me if I am Italian, Spanish, French, or Russian and get extremely surprised by the response! Does that mean that the question still remains!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Irish, Scottish, French, black foot Indian; I have another type of Indian blood but when I called my Great Aunt who's really into geanology, to find out what other kind of Indian I had in me and she told me that I am related to Pochohontis!. I was shocked since she was an Indian Princess!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
