Hey, maybe the Euros will be more inclined to let the Turks in the EU if the Turks go through with the ethnic cleansing.

This post doesn't make any sense, but then it's your post so it's expected.
They let in Germany and Poland, so why not Turkey?

German Cheques and not even Poland is muslim.

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Paternal grandmother's ancestry is unsure.  Adopted by somewhat crazy-ass hill folk in Idaho in the Depression.  We've thought Armenian previously (my dad looks part or wholly Jewish or Armenian, so does a lot of that side), now we are thinking Basque, or some particularly dark Welsh or Irish. 

That said,  always claimed the majority of my stock was Anglo.

If someone looks Jewish/Armenian/Welsh/Irish/Basque I think that it is safe to say that he could just as well be any other European heritage.

This reminds me that earlier (like, my great grandpa) my family's last name had the part in it which translates to "Czech Priest" now, the story my grandpa told my father was that this was actually attached because of an actual czech priest who came and settled here.
My grandma's version, however, and it does sound more probable, is that simply one of my (not that distant) ancestors had parents named "Czech" and "Priest" hence the name :P

In other words, you don't need to be American to have family legends of exotic ancestry :P

Clearly you don't know enough about Mormon obsession with ancestry.  Family and roots are invented and hypothesized if they do not exist.  I liked the Armenian theory for obvious reasons.

 :huh: The Mormons are indeed obsessed with ancestry (ancestral baptism :bleeding: ^ :bleeding: ), but I didn't think they were known for making shit up if they hit dead ends as part of their meticulous research...

In retrospect, the fact that my grandmother is a disturbed individual likely has more to do with it than her creed.  Always kind of thought it was the Mormon thing, though.

In my current Armenia game in EU: Rome, a scythian dude grabbed the throne in civil war :perv:

His grandson has armenian culture however, so things should be back to normal in two generations.

I'm familiar with Idaho history and the Basque ancestry is entirely plausible.
