Any Polish Tatars here? [95]
My husbands Mother is Tatar.She was born and raised in Japan. Her father and mother were from a village outside of Penza. She has passed away. I sure wish I would have talked to her more about her history. We live on the west coast of the US. She married an American of Scotch Irish decent. One a Christian and one a Muslim. Never have I seen such a beautiful marriage between two people of different backgrounds. My brother in law wrote a book about them. It is called Ed and Ivet, the true story of a POW Romance by William Bacon. It is very important to me to do our family research so that my children will know and future generations will know. She said she is from the Finnish Tatar People. Would that be the same as Polish Tatar? I sure wish she had taught my husband how to speak her language. Something like Tatarsca? Not sure how to spell it. When I read how some of you are still judging others because of so long ago, it made me sad. When will it be enough? Holding grudges of so long ago only hurts the person with the grudge. Lets work on making this a better world. My husband just had his DNA done and I'm excited to see the results he gets. Those Tatars are a hard bunch to pinpoint.
