Hi all,

I am half South Lebanese (Shia Muslim) from the border region with Palestine, with part of that side of the family having a surname that stems from a Turkish name, so there's likely ottoman-period Turkish heritage here too, and half Russian-German (Ethnically German but lived in russia for generations, and later kazakhstan), likely with some influence from the Kazakh and Russian populations they lived amongst. I know very little about that side.

Basically id like to know more about the various other ethnicities mixed in with the obvious south Lebanese and German roots, and id if possible like to know what part of Germany the German side comes from. I don't know if they are even from modern day Germany or an area that is now a different country.

Given that this is such a rare mix of so many places id like to know if any provider will be able to accurately provide information about it all? If so which would be the best and most detailed? Or would I have to use multiple providers to really get accurate info on this?

Thanks!
