What is your heritage? Where your ancestry comes from?

What is your heritage? Who were your ancestors?

For example: My father's ancestors came from Kürtün district of Gümüşhane(a province in Northeast Turkey) to Tokat(a province in Central-east Turkey) approximately 150 years ago. But I couldn't find anything like that at e-devlet. Also my mom described them as "high-cheekboned and slant but colourful eyed people" . Also she told that my father's grandma looked like Kazakh (she told me that my father said them to her. Also she saw my father's grandpa and grandma).

Maternal grandfather's side of my mother came from Georgia hundred years ago. Also Wikipedia says that my grandma's village is a Meskhetian village (you can search in English Wikipedia as Guryıldız). I ask my grandma about it and she said "that's true". So I'm 1/8 Meskhetian Turk. That's why I wrote ancestry part of my profile "some Kipchak". Also my mother described her mother's paternal side as "Blue/green eyed, blond haired people. They were so white. Even they looked like Georgians". I don't know if I have Georgian blood but anyway...

Note: Btw they both claim that they came from Southwest Central Asia (today's Turkmenistan) but how true is it I don't know. but I'll take a dna test when I pass my 18.

Paternal side: Istanbul, Edirne (Eastern Thrace), Xanthi (Today's Greece), Lovech (Today's Bulgaria)
Maternal side: Maternal grandmother comes from Zagora (Today's Bulgaria, it is called Stara Zagora today), maternal grandfather is from Elazig -
- Sivrice - Uslu Village (Eastern Anatolia). I looked up this village on the web, they mostly voted for AKP and MHP so I guess they identify as Turks.

Maternal ancestors: Came from England in the 1800s, one fought in the war of 1812 after switching from the American to the British side and acquired land, he was German as far as I know. Most of my ancestors were born in Wiltshire England and Antrim Northern Ireland but also Germany and Netherlands.

Paternal: All from Mexico, haven't done enough research but all their names are Spanish or Basque so I can infer they came from there.

My father came from one of the most beautiful towns in Northern Ireland on the coast. My maternal grandfather is completely German with ancestry from Prussia and my maternal Grandmother is 3/4 Hungarian and 1/4 Mongolian. Her maternal grandfather was from Mongolia.

Mother's family came to the US/colonies from all over western Europe between 17th-19th century, mainly England, Spain, and German states. Father's family immigrated from Germany after WW2. Typical American background.

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

Slovene from Gorenjska (Upper Carniola) around Kranj and north of Ljubljana who moved to Zagreb, Croatia many generations ago. Part of Slovene family lived in Triest (now Italy) until recently.

Croat/Šokac from Zagreb with distant roots in Karlovac area (Central Croatia) and northeastern Bosnia (around Gradačac). But long enough in Zagreb to be considered city native.

Czech from Ostrava, northeastern Czech Republic (Czech Silesia) who moved to Bosnia as part of Austro-Hungarian administration, later moved to Zagreb from Bosnia.

I'm basically just pure Purger, aka native Zagrebian.
