People of the world belong to one of the three general categories of races: Caucasoid, Mongoloid or Negroid. After much intuitive thought and no DNA testing or anything scientific, I believe that my ancestors belonged to the Mongoloid race. The Mongoloid race is known to have originated near the Baikal Lake in Siberia. No wonder I felt such incredible feelings when I went there last summer. I saw people that looked like my grandfather, too. One looked enough like him to be a twin. My Ukrainian friend Anya look like my mother. My mother looked like a Russian princess.

Mongoloid characteristics include high cheekbones and inner eyelids which are well suited for living in cold and harsh conditions such as in Siberia. I have high cheekbones and inner eyelids but I sure do hate the cold. I can take almost any heat but suffer in cold.

Mongoloid can be further categorized as the Old Mongol or the New Mongol which differ in physical characteristics and language. The time when the two Mongols divided into different groups is still not known; however, the two groups have divided even further into many different groups. The New Mongol which is composed of the Ugrians, the Finns, the Turks, the Mongols, and the Tungus is the one to which I belong. I wonder if this is another reason I chose the professional name "Fenn". It's just that so often we know so much more than we realize we know. I chose a professional name that was easy to spell and remember.
