Our people lived about 200-500 years in Dersim Turkey in Tunceli Ovacik Cevizli Dereköyü in a small village
our old people told us that our family came from old Persian about 200-500 years ago,in the near of our village the other neighbor called us as the Persian people "ACEM" in 1938 got all our family a last name:
Engin, Leylekoglu, Keser and Keskin,we are now about 50 families,but there should be also some in Turkey who we don't never see, because from Persian settled to Turkey two brothers named, Lelo and Kerem, and one of this group is missing, also we don't know our family from Iran, I hope to find them with this project.
