I'm just surprised about Trabzon. As far as I know; the paternal side is from the Balkans but there seems to be some Trabzon and even Mosul-Iraq from the paternal side.
It's also possible that some of these people were in the military and sent there to fight. It coincides with the World War, especially Mosul.
Btw; my surname contains a specific class in the military, so it's highly possible that they fought in the WW1. My genetics do not show any Arab or Levantine so the one from Mosul is probably not a local.
And one thing; one relative from Elazig seems to be 'in exile' in 1925. It's kinda interesting, and I hope it's not related to the Sheikh Said Rebellion.
