Thanks Miss V....one last question then im out.
Would you be classified now as a northern or southern pontus greek....i may be splitting a greek hair but as you can see below, you may not claim the distinction if your descendants are from Northern Pontus Lol !!!.
Nother question....were the Pontus Greeks the ones who never took to the water like their sea faring cousins ?. Seems like they conquered the surrounding territories and were a land loving (lubbing) lot ;-)
'Those from southern Russia, Ukraine, and Crimea are often referred to as "Northern Pontic [Greeks]", in contrast to those from "South Pontus", which strictly speaking is Pontus proper. Those from Georgia, northeastern Anatolia, and the former Russian Caucasus are in contemporary Greek academic circles often referred to as "Eastern Pontic [Greeks]" or as Caucasian Greeks, but also include the Greco-Turkic speaking Urums.'
