About
the family name DeTurck in Vlaanderen in
the 16th Century! It
is the result of more then 10 years of examination of his genealogy with over
3539 persons and 825 families. To consult on my website http://members.lycos.nl/luciendeturck/index.htm
It declares the surname TURK on Belgium soil, based
on two important writings: the first of professor De Brabandere and the second
of Jozef Van Overstraeten: two searchers for the declaration of surnames in
Dutch.

Mr Hulki Cevizoglu makes programs on one of the biggest
Turkish TV "ATV". He invited Professor "Kazim Mirsan", Mr
Kazim explained that the history does
not start with the Sumer (ancient poeople lived in
now Iraq&Turkey),it starts with TURKS. As I said Kazim also read the Finland
Legend in ancient Turkish.. I suggest you to
read these book: "Türk Olmak (Means:
Being Turk) and "Türk Olmak (Means: Being Turk)" from the author
Hulki Cevizoglu(they are in
Turkish...). He explains that these informations are not made
public in Europe since their written history totaly depends on ancient greece...If
they knew the truth, it will not be good for their culture (E.g: Bulgarians
are also Turk, but they have taught that they are the childs of blacked
haired Russians. Here are the other

ANCIENT TURS/TURKS
OF TURAN AND THEIR LEGACIES TO THE WORLD ("Sumerians" - Ancient Turanian
Tur/Turk people- By POLAT KAYA
www.compmore.net/~tntr/tur1.html
Another most interesting part is A ENGLISH - SUMERIAN - TURKISH DICTIONARY
Prepared by Polat Kaya (September 12, 1997)
www.compmore.net/~tntr/sumerturka.html
Mr. Kaya is a retired
Physicist/Engineer and spends his time deciphering ancient text and words.
His major uncovering is the deep annagramatization of ancient Turkish words
pre-dating Latin in Europe as well as tracing the lineage of the Pharoahs of
Egypt to Sumeria, which are thought to be the connected to the most ancient
Turks(Anav) originating in modern Turkmenistan, where they have found graves
going back 6,000-7,000 years with artifacts far surpassing Greek civilization.
He says to Nancy and Toni Turk: Your web site is very comprensive. It is indeed a noble
cause for your organization to try to trace the name TURK appearing in the
names of people. Although "historians" try to associate the name "Turk" with
the Seljuk Turks starting from around the 11th century A.D., in reality, the
name goes much further back in time. For example, to names such as "TROY",
from Turkish "TUR ÖY" meaning "Home of TUR", in ancient Anatolia, and to the
so-called name "THRACIA" which is again from the Turkish expression "TURK ÖYU"
meaning "Home of TURK". These two names alone go far into and beyond the
second millennium B.C.. But in addition to this, the name TUR / TURK is also
part of the name of the Sky God TUR, Turkish TENGIR or TENGRI meaning "GOD"
and Sumerian DINGIR meaning "GOD".
These last two names, that is, DINGIR, in the form: a) "GIN-DIR" is another
form of Turkish "GÜN-DUR" (GÜN TUR) meaning "it is Sun" and/or "Sun God"; b)
in the form "DIRG-IN" is another form of Turkish "TURK EN" (TURK HAN) meaning
"Lord Turk". Similarly, the Central Asian Turkish TENGIR or TENGRI, in the
form "GIN-TER" (GÜN TÜR) means "it is Sun" and also the "Sun-God".
Additionally, in the form "TIRG-EN" (TURK HAN) means "Turk Lord" (Lord Turk).
Thus the names TUR and TURK are as old as the name of the Sky God , Sun God
and Moon God in ancient TURANIAN culture. Ancient Turanian Turs/Turks
believed in these trinity of sky deities. Furthermore, the names TUR / TURK
are not only the name of the Sky God but they are also the name of the
Turanian TUR / TURK / OGUZ peoples. It is also the name of the Turkish
language (Türkçe) and also one of the most important and widely used suffixes
in the forms of (-tur, -dur, -tir, -dir) of the Turkish language defining and
describing every concept to be named in Turkish. Thus the names TUR, TURK and
OGUZ are very ancient Turkish names.
