I was born and raised in Western Turkey, and so were my parents.
I always considered myself Turkish even though I suspected I may have little bit Yugoslavian in me from my dad's side of the family.
I recently took 23andme test and got too little East Asian (0.2%) and Middle Eastern (0.5%). At this point I am questioning my heritage.
(correction: I noticed there is no Central Asian category at all)
Out of my four grandparents:
- two grandparents were refugees from Macedonia (don't know for sure whether from Yugoslavia/FYROM or perhaps the Greek province); were Atheist; spoke Macedonian, not Greek or Turkish
- one grandparent's both parents were refugees from Drama, Greece; were Muslim; spoke Turkish, but I don't know if they also spoke Greek.
- one grandparent was born and raised in Golmarmara, Turkey; was Muslim; spoke only Turkish. We never doubted his ethnicity being Turkish.
My grandparents all passed away, I may test my parents in the future, but for the time being all I have is my own results.
What I am wondering is how many of my grandparents were Turkish. Could they all be ethnically Greek, but not know about it?
