"Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu /ˈagnɛs gɔnˈʤa bɔˈjadʒju/ was born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, now the capital of the Republic of Macedonia. Although she was born on August 26, she considered August 27, the day she was baptized, to be her "true birthday."[7] Although some sources state that she was 10 when her father died, in an interview with her brother, the Vatican documents her age at the time as "about eight". She was the youngest of the children of a family from Shkodër, Albania, born to Nikollë and Drana BojaxhiuHer father was involved in Albanian politics. In 1919, after a political meeting, which left Skopje out of Albania, he fell ill and died when Agnes was about eight years old. After her father´s death, her mother raised her as a Roman Catholic."
How does this make her Turkish - or am I missing something?

Oh, it just says:
That makes him born in modern-day Turkey, I really don´t know what his ethic background was, that´s why I said "kind-of".

Sorry to disturb this, but Saint Nicholas is NOT the same as Santa Claus. We celebrate it not on December 6th but on the 5th (here is Wiki wrong!). Saint Nicholas (or Sinterklaas / Sint Nicolaas) was in reality born in Myra (now Demre), is burried in Bari in Italy and for us (our kids) he lives in Spain. He rides a white horse and has black helpers (Zwarte Pieten / Black Peters). Your Santa Claus lives near Rovaniemi in Finland, Northpole area. This one rides a sledge with reindeer and his helpers are elves.
