And Moni, wherever you got that thing about the Ong Khan from, I can tell you that my name (Ong) is just a Hokkien pronunciation of the Chinese name 'Wang'; it probably doesn't have any connection with the Mongols. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Well, given my somewhat larger eyes  , it is possible I might have some Mongolian (or Eurasian?) genes in me -- just as most modern Brits are probably a good mix of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Jute, Saxon, Danish, Norman etc...
And after all is said and done... Yes, let's let the past die and be friends, and make sure people like that Bushwacker don't ruin everything again. Okay, please, pretty pleeeeaaaase?...

I said son because the site says so. I should have used quotation marks LOL but like I said, I didn't study much of the Mongol history beyond Genghis Khan's death other than The Yasa.
I associated your name with the interpretation of "prince". not the Mongols themselves. The name Ong was given to the Ong Khan by the Chin dynasty anyway so it would be Chinese and not Mongol.
(I think the Chinese, Mongols & all have the most interesting histories of all the people on the planet.) Historical records tell the people's stories rather than the outer facts and make it that much richer.
Americans themselves are a hodgepodge of races and cultures, myself included and I am even one of the exceptional breed that contains the genes of nearly half the european nations, Native American and even a touch of African. On the outside I am just another white girl LOL, well until I tan and then I look like a blue-eyed Apache [img]smile.gif[/img] .
I am hoping like hell that the American public opens their eyes to what the Bushwacker (lol) really is and does not allow him another term as The American Dictator, I mean President.
Know that
I will vote for a loaf of stale bread before I put any marks down in his favor.
