I suspect the Middle East, because of proximity, but I could always be surprised.
My father's people fled Hesse and Bavaria in the 1770s to avoid conscription, and settled on the Volga for 100 years. My mother is a Marian (literally, her grandmother's name was Mary Mary) through France from antiquity (Da Vinci Code, anyone?).
I get the sense that my people have always been on the run.
