My family's pretty much all Welsh and English. Mostly Welsh.
I'm told that both of my parents' families come from yörüks -the traditional nomadic tribal Turks, that is. I'm proud to be a local of where Ataturk 's paternal lineage used to live. Nobody knows if there are very slight mix-ups but I'm an annoying : :turkey:
BTW, it's interesting to hear that Tribesman 's wife has some Turkish heritage and that in terms of Middle Asian values, SwordsMaster is a far-relative as well. We know Kazaks as a Turkish race.
Anyway, cheers for all from around the world. :medievalcheers:

Damn, I was hoping they'd have a Soviet flag. :shame:

Quote:
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up
[chorus:]
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man
[chorus]
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"
[chorus]
I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

You do know about the sarcastic undertone in 'Born in the USA', don't you ?

Oh, and last names. I have one of the most popular last names in Italy: Piazza.
I only count 7/8ths, Capo. Now you're not hiding 1/8th of your heritage out of shame for us, are you? ~:)
Let's see, which could that last 1/8th be?
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
3/8ths Italian, 2/8ths German, 1/8th Austrian, 1/8th Polish, 1/16th Irish, 1/16th English.
3+2+1+1+.5+.5= 8
Cool to be named Kaiser Piazza!:2thumbsup:Quote:

There are so many Tatars in Turkey, most of them from Crimea. Yes, that's a small world.
