As someone from the same area and same ethnicity Rita's father belonged to, I need to clarify a few things.
They are not speaking Turkish in the village. That village is Pomak (South Slavic muslim) just like my village which is very close to that one. There are around 60 Pomak villages in the north of the province of Xanthi which are only inhabited by Pomaks and the area is known as Pomakohoria (Pomak villages).
Our native language is Pomak (Slavic), not Turkish but we learn Turkish at school, it's mandatory in our region. The translator girl probably does not speak Pomak fluently so that's why they were using Turkish. If you are a Turkish speaker you can clearly hear the accent.
We are South Slavic (Slavic and Thracian). Our Slavic side came here to the Balkan aproximately 1500 years ago and our Thracian side was always here, for thousands of years. Geneticaly speaking we are not related to Turks, at all.
Thank you for this clarification! 👍🏼
@@marquizz2005 Thank you for reading🙏🏻
I m confused. Mandatory Turkish in Ksanthi?
You are not a Pomak because most Pomaks speak Turkish (with the Thracian accent of Turkish)
@@kulmach Real Pomaks speak POMAK, our actual language
Ok I gota tell ya that when she walked into the house and said , dad I'm home , as a dad of two girls myself I started crying ..
Why? What does her self centered video have anything to do with you?
It's known as emotion , it's something that stone cold bastards don't understand .
@@roddychristodoulou9111 you are just too weak, crying over a bogus video by your Goddess that you are bootlicking. At least, I am not a snowflake, am as strong as a steel. lol
I found letters written in Greek in my grandma's basement when my uncle died... I took them, wrote letters to the addresses, and went to visit my relatives in Greece. In my case, it was my great grandfather who came to the US... I met the last woman to be born in Greece with my maiden name. I've been able to even bring my children to Greece to see their distant relatives. It was wonderful. 🇬🇷🙂❤️
Wasn't his village orai the same village from Eleni
@@kristinamejia9738 No, Eleni's village was in region of Epirus and this village is in region of Thrace
@@alkyoni9891 I thought Eleni was from Μani Peloponnese.
Μπράβο σου που δεν ξεχνάς τον τόπο σου❤
Well done for not forgetting who you are😊
Way back in 1985 or 86 I met Rita Wilson at the Beverly Center while we waited in line to get an autograph from Artist Keith Haring. She tapped me on the shoulder and said who are we in line for? I turned and said hey you're the Coors light Silver Bullet girl! We talked while the line moved and she was the sweetest person. So bubbly and Beautiful.
Ya? And then she didnt mind the whole jeffery epstine thing either... now what dose that say about her and creep hanks...
Why wouldn’t she be fun and bubbly? R celebs suppose to be depressed?
Whatever she ultimately is, she's 100% Balkan & beautiful. Gotta love the Balkan sisters!
The people who are saying her father is Greek because he was born in Greece and is a Greek citizen are the same that call her mother Greek while she was from Sotire, Dropull in Albania. Her mother never lived in Greece only in Albania. In all interviews she says the village "Sotira" is near Albanian boarder😂...no girl the village is in Albania, in the Gjirokaster county. Yes the county is on the border with Greece but is not Greece. The obsession Rita Wilson has with Greece is scary!
I have loved Rita Wilson ever since she stole the show in Sleepless in Seattle. I still laugh out loud at her retelling of An Affair to Remember. So glad she is having this opportunity to learn about her extended family.
I met Alan Wilson in LA at a Bulgarian event many years ago and he said he was Bulgarian.
THAT LIGHT ON YOUR FACE ENTERING THE HOUSE...PRICELESS!!!
your dad was born in 1920 and he lived in greece. if they had anything to eat at the time, peas included, nobody would have refused to eat them.
Greece have so many see food and vegetables and they cook amazing Turks too.
I wouldn't be sure about that. My father in law was born in 1927 in Larissa and grew up there. He never drank milk. Not even during the famine in 1944.
Some children are very firm about what they'll eat and rather go hungry than eat a certain food.
These ppl r not her family. She doesn’t even resemble them at all. Paperwork was destroyed during the war. I think they connected her to the wrong family.
@@LGAussie sad
You must be a troll
Rita, you did a great job! You' ve traveled a lot to find your father's birth place! You are awesome!
Rita nin akrabalari hepsi harika turkce konusuyorlar. Rita cok sansli ailesini bulmakla.
Interesting!! My Lebanese grandfather was Greek orthodox and fought with the Greeks during WW11. Love hearing these stories!!
Kebanese of Lebanese????
I don't believe you merle
@P-nut BriTtLe thanks corrected, thought I had!
@P-nut BriTtLe Thats fine, I have photos etc and am happy with what we know 😊
Such a touching story
They all seem so wholesome and friendly ❤
Rita is such a sweetheart. Very real.
beautiful story from a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing.
"Dad, I'm home." Tore me apart.
Very moving the visit to your father's home! Beautiful video like the name of the village! (Ωραίον / Oreon in Greek means Beautiful)
Me and my friend used to send kebayas in this boutique in Nortinghill.We were so excited when the boutique owner told us that Rita bought one!
Madame Rita, you look so much like your dad.
You have the same smile as him in this pic. 😊
Regards to you and Tom.
If Ritas birth last name was Margarita Ibrahimof it does not make her Greek but Bulgarian Muslim... Pomak dialect is an old slavik one and is used by Muslim and Christian Bulgarians that leave in that region of Greece..
If he was born in Greece, he's Greek.
Also, she's American.
here is another confusion, her cousins in this video were all speaking only in fluent Turkish language.
@@stouellette Greece and Turkey have fought wars and Half of the island Cyprus is Turkish while the other half is greek. There is a high probability he is an ethnic turk or maybe his family was from Eastern Europe but he was living in Greece.
Her mother is Greek Orthodox
@@Cua-tanet That’s not how it works
we ...the Greeks are very proud for our Rita Wilson...i wish her Health and Happiness...her and her whole family..❤
She is not Greek and not yours she is Bulgarian, Trace Trakia is stolen from you Greeks Malaka always and again Trakia will be Bulgarian teritory
Thank, I too a Turk wishes her and her family the best, as it's obvious and written in the video at 8:29 that he is of Turkish ethnicity 💪🇹🇷
The whole family is 100% Turkish and Muslim, not Greeks.
@@rahmikarayol1299 exactly, if they could oneday they would even try to say the ottoman empire was greek too,they love trying to take what is our heritage
@@haytch1598 Why don't you ask her what she is and what she feels for herself? Are you afraid of her answer?
May almighty bless you my sister 🙏
He was a bulgarian turk which stayed in greek side after the war as some greeks stayed in turkush side
You didn't understand anything of what you saw.... Donkey 😅😅😅
Oh dear, that made me cry
Her fathers famıly was talkıng Türkish

👍 agree!
RITAS DADS, FORMER HOME NEEDS RESTORATION . I'M AMAZED OF WHAT SOMEONE GROWN AND LEFT IN THE HOME.
Her cousins speak Turkish. I don’t think they are from Bulgaria. The old lady with her cousins looks like my maternal grandma. She was a Turkish / Muslim born
in Thessaloniki. I think we are all mixed because of the Ottoman Empire.
I think these ppl r not her descendants. I think the paperwork is wrong. They found the wrong family. She doesn’t even resemble these ppl. These ppl look Bulgarian. Rita does not look Bulgarian at all.
@@LGAussie you may be right, they don’t look like Rita at all as you said.
@@LGAussie She does look very Bulgarian.
@@michaelajonsson2908
She probably is Bulgarian and half Grecian, but she doesn’t look like that family at all tho.
Why they are not from Bulgaria? 1) her father’s last name is Ibrahimov. 2) they mentioned the city of Smolyan located in Rhodope mountains of Bulgaria.
Villagers speak Turkish and actually translator (interpreter) is also a Turkish lady translating from Turkish to English 😊
I don’t think they found her real relatives. I think this family doesn’t even look like her at all.
@@LGAussie The men looked a little different but the women can be her relatives. She indicated, Deniz, was her cousin. Plus the photo of her father suggest those men could be related to him.
The """Villagers""" that you mention, do speak Greek well, and you know it's Rita Wilson visiting ....

So interesting!Family history 😊
I was all smiles at first now I’m confused with her. I need to hear more.
I think they connected her to the wrong family. Most documents were destroyed pre-war world 2… She doesn’t resemble these ppl at all. It doesn’t feel right. I watch these shows and u always see a resemblance in the families. This is far off. They need to research better on this one.
@@LGAussie sad
@LGAussie some of my cousins don't look "like us at all". Why? Because their mother is a foreigner from a different ethnic group/race. So not looking like your family doesn't mean you're not one of them.
They are Turkish Bulgarian actually
But what do you say?
Rita Wilson Birth Name is -- Margarita Inrahimov ''' !!! She is Not Greek , She is Bulgarian- Pomak Muslim ' ! There are many Like her in Bulgarian Rodopi ' Mauntan around City of Smoyan in Bulgaria '' ! A Beautiful Place by the way !
Official bulgarian document shows he was ethnic turkish
There are several hundred thousand Turks living in Bulgaria with Turkish names who are Moslems. Before Greece gained independence of Thrace this area was heavily populated by these people as well as the 200k Turks living in Greece. You can not be ethnic Bulgarian with the name Ibrahimov.
best regards from Chile.
Ailesi Müslüman Türk. Dedesi, babası kuzenleri..Türk asıllı Yunan yani. Türkçe konuşuyorlar. Kimse farketmedimi? ❤️❤️🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
100%
Kendisi aynı dinde olmadığı için kendini Türk saymıyor 🫠 sorun değil. İstiyorsa ben Yunanlıyım diyebilir zaten Yunan siyaseti Türk kimliğini hiç kabul etmez onlar genelde Yunanlı müslümanlar derler..
Babasının ailesi Türkleşmiş Bulgarlardır, ki onlara Pomak denir.Burası Bulgaristan Yunanistan sınırında bir köy.Bir kısım halk Bulgaristan tarafında bir kısmı ise Yunanistan tarafında kalmış.
Balkan Savaşlari 1. ve 2.Dünya Savaşları sonucunda sınır değişikligi ile burası Yunanistan tarafında kalmış.Bugün de Batı Trakya Türkleri'nin çoğu Türkleşmiş yani ana dili Türkçe olan ( bazısı Bulgarca da bilir) müslüman bir halktır.
Ayrıca babasının irtida edip Hıristiyan olduğunu da söyledi.
@@olcaypoyraz1951 iyide Müslüman ve Türkçe konuşan herkese Türk diyorlar bu kürtler ve araplar içinde dahil hatta Yunanistan’da Turkiyeden göçmüş Türkçe konuşan Yunanlılara dahi Türk diyorlar. Kısacası bu Bayanın babası hakkında bindiklerinin yanlis olduğunu düşünüyorum. eğer doğru olsaydı Türkçe konuşan bu aile üyelerinin konuşmalarını bu kadar kısa tutmaz birde onların ağzından Türkçe kelimelerle duyardık! Bence bazı kesimlere Türkiye’ye karşı alttan propaganda zemini hazırlamak için yapılmış bir video bu ve bu videoda kurguladıkları mantıksız hikayede çok kopukluklar var. Türkler kimseyi zorla Müslüman yapmaz öyle olsaydı Türkçe konuşan Yunanlılar hiç olmazdı.. avrupa tarihine bakarsanız ırkçılık ve savaş zamanı insanlara yapılan zulümler hep din yüzünden olmuştur. Babasının yaşadığı dönem itibari ile değiştirdiği dininin o dönemlerde insanlara yapılan zulümlerden olmadığı ne malum? Keza dün gibi hatırladığım 1989 yılında Bulgaristan’dan zorla dinleri değiştirilmiş Türklerin kaçışlarının yaşandığı tarihe şahit olmuş biri olarak gerçeğe tezat hikayeden tabiki şüphelenmek mantıklı bir gerçek.. son bir not, kabul edilmesi gereken bu topraklarda Yunan, Türk veya başka milletten yaşayan herkesin geninde bir birinin geni var. Atatürk’ün dediği gibi; Ne Mutlu Türküm diyene! Sözlerinin altında aslında çok büyük manalar yatmakta tabiki anlamak için çok felsefi bir yoldan geçmek elzemdir.
Are you related to Ada Wilson. She lived in Corpus Christi. She lived in a castle house built in 1937 that was built by the ottoman empire

Oh Mr. Wiiiiiiiiiiiilson! lol!
I'm guessing he watched Dennis the Menace in 1960.
And no one was more famous the Mr. Allen Wilson, Dennis's eldrly next door neighbor.
Pretty smart!!
Apparently he got the name Wilson from a local LA street. Mind you many immigrants who came to America changed thier name and surname for more anglicised name. It was part of the melting pot of America.
Interesting 😮😮😮😮😮
Allahumma Barik, beautiful life story❤
be proud of your roots
I love his birth name.
Rita Wilson was born Margarita Ibrahimoff
in Los Angeles, CA, USA. She is a U.S. Citizen and an honorary Greek Citizen since Dec. 27, 2019 just like her Husband, actor Tom Hanks.
I do too! It was an awesome name ❤

@@rosemarydement-tucker4111 you can just translate there 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Unless RUclips doesn't show translation?
I find this very interesting as a Turkish American…
Surely you didn't understand anything 😂😂😂
Is there part 2?
If I were her, I would ask to buy it, and use it for holidays.
There is a dog rescue in Xanthe, run by women They used to get a fair bit of help from the UK. Between Brexit and Covid, I don't know if the rescue has survived. I fear it will be much smaller, now.
Greece politicians have made it near impossible to get dogs to wealthier countries, unless legal owner travels with them, which makes it impossible to send dogs to foster homes, and also means it is very expensive to adopt.
I don’t think this is her family. Correct records in Greece were destroyed in WW2. It’s very hard to find true family documents from 1800-1950…

Her Father is Turkish Muslim.All her relatives have Turkish and Muslim names.
0:23 here explains she why
@@elenits.6816 If it was true. The whole Greece would be Muslim. Turks controlled Greece for 600 years. You would not see any Greek, Greek speaking person, people.
Though they speak Turkish, I'm not sure "Ibrahimov" is originally from Turkeyie, the name sounds more like Bulgaria, like some people suggested.
@@lisasim It is Pomak. Muslim Bulgarian.
Български мохамеданин е, който приема християнството заради съпругата си гъркиня. Другото е спекулация.
He was muslim greek, but all the family members speak turkish??
@Artur Ahmeti, actually they are all Turkish in origin, her father, grandfather, ancestors : all of them are Turks. They settled in Greece, so she's calling him Greek, but he wasn't Greek by orgin, he was Turk. That's why the entire family is speaking Turkish. They are Muslim Turks by birth.
It would be rare to find a Muslim Grecian. I think this info for Rita is incorrect. She doesn’t even look at all like these ppl.
@@zamzamkhan759 sad
@@LGAussie sad
@@zamzamkhan759 Many muslim Turks are originally Greeks in origin too. Real Turks look like those in the central asia.
Alot of years past is the reason. It is sad that stories of family isn't kept or said to other members of the families. Alot of time it is assume this.....assume that...type thing. It isn't uncommon though. I knew my father was in the army but I thought he was civil service but when I did my own research and talked to people in army with my father....no in fact he was in the army. Found a army yearbook on eBay that has my father's picture in it. Never seen him in uniform until I seen that photo. I bought another book for the family can have.
Bulgaria for sure. But muslim living in greece.
Old men were speaking Turkish. They must be muslim Turks..
He is not Muslim Greek he is either Turkish or Pomak (Muslim Bulgarian)! Also they are speaking Turkish in that village.
Да!!Само нашето младо поколение, на което беше натрапен турския език от гръцката политика ,след ВСВ......
They are not speaking Turkish in the village. That village is Pomak, like my village which is very close to that one. Our native language is Pomak (Slavic), not Turkish but we learn Turkish at school. The translator girl probably does not speak Pomak fluently so that's why they were using Turkish.
I see Jaimé Sommers (Lindsay Wagner) of 'Bionic woman' here.
A tiny twist in the story turns a Turkish man into a Greek. Similar to Greek history.
Love ❤ story of a Bulgarian Muslim man and a Greek Orthodox Christian women and the result the beautiful Rita ❤
But, the old men were speaking Turkish language... 😊
@@ogul.denizci Because of the very complex and interesting history of our lands. The Bulgarian-speaking Muslim community in Greece is largely Turkicized. Ahmed Imam, leader of the organization in Xanthi states: "In 2-3 months we can learn to read in Bulgarian, we know the grammar, it is our mother language”.
@@ogul.denizci Българите мюсюлмани в Гърция са двуезични или немалко са изгубили българския си говор, тъй като гръцкото правителство дълго време преследваше говоренето на майчиния език и допуска образование единствено на турски език. През 1995 година Гърция обявява славянския език, разпространен сред помаците в Гърция, за „помашки език“ и издава речник с около 6500 думи. На следващата година последва издаване и на „помашка граматика“.
Tom Hanks spoke in Bulgarian in the movie "The Terminal" to recreate the fictional language of Krakosia. Tom Hanks himself says that his father-in-law, Rita's father, was the model for the image of Viktor Navorski in the film.
@@bdon4eva yes I remember that
They were speaking Turkish, though, I think her ancestors r from turkey living in greece many many years.
They are people who live for many centuries on the mountains at the northern part of Greece before Bulgaria. Their origin language isn't turkish, they have their own language and became ottomans by force, before centuries. Turkey use them to play games at the area ever since.
@Σοφία Λινού it is always a choice. I am not turkish, btw. Stop blaming others. All countries have some sort of beef from neighbors, move on.

Why does being a Muslim Greek bother you so much?
He is basically from Turkish origin who lived close to the Turkish border of Greece. I understand everything that they are talking in Turkish. Amazing story indeed.
No, he was a Pomak. They're speaking Turkish because the translator (Deniz Hacıhalil) is an ethnic Turk.
No they spoke Turkish between each other too and I am not sure pomaks know Turkish especially women.

Just don't forget in the otoman empire there area was modulated by Bulgarian folks. even after the empire till bolkan war( even now there are Bulgarian ethnics in there area. A village kukush vas destroyed. Just some clues to research. Maybe in the neighbor archives.....
Since he changed his name and got married in the church, being a muslim and a turk in America at that time caused you trouble or he felt like that.
