Possibly Martha Turkel is my 4th great grandmother. A Martha Turkel(?) married Samuel Schlecht in Dutchess County(?),New York;maybe her name was Turtel. Is Martha familiar to you? Samuel Schlecht was born in New York in 1787. The Schlecht name was changed to Slaight by some family members, my 3rd great grandfather was Stephen Lawrence Slaight b 1808 to Samuel and Martha. If I can help you in some way, please let me know. Please let me know if Martha is in you family. Sincerely, Carol M. Glantz

Its interesting how I read a JPost article about Turkel commission and it led me to this site and the Turkel history. Love it. Human beings need a connection and a belonging and I admire this web site for its effort and how it tries to put pieces together. Coming from a Turkish background, it also educates the Jews of Israel not to look at Turks as enemies as they have done so much good in the past, contrary to what the West would like everyone to believe. Humanity is such an important part of living. This is the message I would like to convey.

Hi dear Turkels. Though I'm not one yours, Turkel is only my first name, I was very glad to find this web-site after my girlfriend told me about it. I live in Azerbaijan and I'm of Turkish descend, like 90% of all Azerbaijanis (we call ourselves Azeris or Azerbaijani Turks). Even my first name tells about it - Afandiyev ("Effendi" is the Turkish analogue of the word "Sir"). I would also like to talk about the origin of the name, I think "el" part also means "nation", not only "land". And I never liked the "hand" explanation of my name. Is there anybody related to actor Joe Turkel? He had a weird part in "The Shinning". The man has a cult-following, I think he's the most-known Turkel in the world. In my country there is regional tv-channel and magazine called "Turkel", thought they must be unrelated. So Turkel is quite popular name in Azerbaijan, even more than in Turkey. Best regards, Türkel Əfəndiyev.

Hi, I can see that you couldn't find many Turkish Turkel people. I am originally from Turkey. Actually, I don't agree with Akif Baysal who says that Turkeli is originated from Turkel. I know I have a quite rare surname in Turkey. There are I guess only 2-3 families in total. I am not quite sure that we are related. My family lives in Trabzon and Turkels are very well known family in Vakfikebir/Trabzon. As far as I know we came to Trabzon around or before WW1 from Gumushane -neighboring city to Trabzon. Some people think that we might mixed with Roman people as they were occupying that region for quite a long time. But I remember my father was talking about our family origin probably comes Middle Asia- Uyghur Turks. Interestingly, there is also very famous Uyghur Turks family named Turkel. I hope these informations can lighten some parts for Turkish origin of this surname. BW, Nezaket Turkel

My grandfathers last name was Turgel. After immigrating from Russia at the turn of last century he and his brother were registered as Tulgan for school(language barrier?) and that surname stuck...I know that Turgel is a varation of Turkel so a connection may exist.

My father, Emanuel came from Tarnopol. Trying to find out what happened to his family. He was not successful in finding any records of them after the war and there is a high probability that all in his family perished. However, I am trying once again. I am happy to have found this link.

I am trying to find any relatives from my father's family who survived the war.He was born in Tarnopol in 1914, youngest of five. Father Hersch,Zvi< mother's maiden name may have been Taub. My grandfather was a tailor. My father went to gymnasium in Lvov, later went to Bordeaux, France for University. Never heard from his family once war broke out. Lived in Portugal until he was able to immigrate to the US. Thank you for reading.

There is now (2006) a Danish computer-animated film out titled Terkel i Knibe translated as Terkel in Trouble. It has won some Danish film awards. Search for reviews on the net and visit www.terkelintrouble.com. It will be out in British DVD early January 2007. I do not know whether there is a DVD for the U.S. region. This film has been said to push the envelope of what is considered family entertainment.
