    Question Kurdish or Turkish MyHeritage

    A couple of my Iraqi Kurmanji Kurd relatives (4 gp kurd) got this update from MyHeritage. Does anyone know anything about those areas in Turkey where they have matches. Are they mixed Kurdish/Turkish areas or predominantly Kurdish or Turkish?

    Also, the name matches they got are those names used by Kurds in Turkey?

    Thanks

    We, Turks, can get very different results from these DNA tests because our origins are very diverse. I would not be surprised if a Turkish person scores 100% Balkan, for example.

    Those places are 80% Turkish with sizable Kurdish and another minorities

    And there is no standard rule for surnames in Turkey. Everyone regardless their ethnicity can have any surname
