Does anyone have any information on the surname of Say, my parents, grandparents, were from Uskadar, Istanbul. I have been told my grandparents were forced to change their surname after the end of the Ottoman empire. Grandparents were Hakki and Zinet Say, My father was Tacettin Say. My grandfather was governor of a province in eastern Turkey, near the Syrian border. The name prior to "Say" was Taskinzadehler.
