Patrick, (1) I am replying to your post in soc.culture.mongolia. I am
taking this posting/article of yours out of soc.culture.momgolia and into
soc.culture.china and soc.culture.asian.american where it (your article)
belongs. Please delete soc.culture.mongolian from the above header, when
you or others make their reply. I am sure that readers of
soc.culture.mongolian will appreciate this. (2) I don't know who you are
refering to, in your posting below...me, perhaps? I am basically Chinese,
but I have Mongolian blood and I am a descendant of Ghangis Khan, by way
of my grandmother, by a marriage of design and choice. As a Chou clan
member, we are descendants of Huang Di and Yan Di. My family speaks
Cantonese, because my grandfather migrated south to Chungshan. I hope, if
it was I that you were speaking of, that clears up any concerns that you
may have had. Please read my private letter to you and comment on my post
of the origin of the Chinese people in soc.culture.asian.american. It's
called, "..........WHAT IS ASIAN..........". Thank you very much.

I am of part-Mongolian blood and I have Mongolian (distant relative)
cousins. I appreciate having the opportunity to post here and I don't
want to abuse that priviledge.
