Interesting. Was that Prussia or Russia ?

It was in Russia. I think Russia fell to the tatars in 1215.

Now I get it. Had to research the term Tatars. It was what the Europeans first called the Mongolians. They were a tribe from NE Mongolia. Tatar sounds a lot better then Mongol anyway. I sure would not want some one calling me a 1/2 Dal Riata/Pict mix. Just calling me a 1/2 blue face painted Scot works better and sounds better. Gee and my other half is Polish/Austrian. Hopefully will be able to figure out what 'tribes' they were. 'A man has got to know his limitations'.

So the Huns were not considered Tatars ?
