Dinner on Saturday 9th
Kinship
Began in Seher pinarc and left the pecelte behind
(i) Close intermarriage
i.e. Sevrim M..... 2nd cousin
Tu... and his wife 2nd cousin
i(4650 Yildiz) another 1st or 2nd cousin
(ii) Conversation about education. i(4650 Yildiz) and T. both said they learned English, French and German history and world history. They knew about Henry VIII and the separation from Rome; but they said European and American children only learn their own history; never heard of SŸleyman Kanancu, Beyagik Yildrim. "We learned too much, and we learned it is the truth".
[Interesting? Part of Ataturk's plan against Ottomanism and pro-Europe. It also reflects the value of information per se; the one-upmanship of remembering; the uncritical nature of derivative learning.]
