Question: Question about my last name!?!?!?!?
Okay so I'm Korean
I'm 25% North Korean as my Grandpa from my Mom's side comes from North Korea Communist Area
So my mom is Half South Half North
BUT!
My father's last name is Ha and the most Korean last names are ' Kim, Lee, Song, Kang,'
I have never met a Korean with the same last name as me!.
So I decided to do some research as we dont have a family tree!.
And I found out the last name 'HA' comes from a Chinese origin!?!?
SO DOES THIS MEAN IM MAYBE PART CHINESE!?!?!? My grandpa on my dads side said yeaWww@QuestionHome@Com
