I Am Researching My Family History, and I Have Learned That I Am Caucasian?

Question

I would like to trace some of my relatives back to the "old country". But here is the problem, I have looked on the map, and I can't seem to locate "Caucasia". Is it by Asia? Where the heck is it? Help me out here. ☺

Answer 1

Just west of Honkytown,30 miles south of Crackerville, and about 10 minutes east of Whiteywood as the crow flies. Hope this helps, but if you need further directions, just ask da man.

Answer 2

Caucasia is a geographical region between Europe and Asia which includes the Caucasus Mountains as a border between the continent Europe and Asia.

The Caucasus or Caucasia is a region in Eurasia bordered on the south by Anatolia (Turkey) and Iran in Asia, on the west by the Black Sea, on the east by the Caspian Sea, and on the north by Russia. Caucasia includes the Caucasus Mountains and surrounding lowlands.

Answer 3

There is a region in western European/eastern Asia called Caucasus. It includes the Caucasus Mountains. The Causcasus Mountains are the dividing line between Europe and Asia. It is occasionally referred to as Caucasia. Look up Causcasus on Google or Wikipedia. You'll find tons of info on it.

Answer 4

The Caucasus or Caucasia is a region in Eurasia bordered on the south by Anatolia (Turkey) and Iran in Asia, on the west by the Black Sea, on the east by the Caspian Sea, and on the north by Russia. Caucasia includes the Caucasus Mountains and surrounding lowlands.

The Caucasus Mountains are commonly reckoned as a dividing line between Asia and Europe, and territories in Caucasia are variably considered to be in one or both continents; for example, the Persian name for the region (harking of Asiatic links) is Qafqâz. The northern portion of the Caucasus is known as the Ciscaucasus and the southern portion as the Transcaucasus. The highest peak in the Caucasus is Mount Elbrus (5,642 m) which, in the western Ciscaucasus in Russia, is generally considered the highest point in Europe.

The Caucasus is one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse regions on Earth. The nation-states that comprise the Caucasus today are northeastern Turkey, the post-Soviet states: Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, as well various parts of Russia. The Russian divisions include Krasnodar Krai, Stavropol Krai, and the autonomous republics of Adygea, Kalmykia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Three territories in the region claim independence but are not generally acknowledged as nation-states by the international community: Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh and South Ossetia.

The Biblical Mount Ararat where Noah's Ark is said to have landed is regarded as the landmark of the ancient Armenian realm. The peak of Ararat is seasonally capped with snow. In Greek mythology, the Caucasus or Kaukasos was one of the pillars supporting the world. Prometheus was chained there by Zeus. The Roman poet Ovid placed Caucasus in Scythia and depicted it as a cold and stony mountain which was the abode of personified hunger.
