I hesitate to ask: Where is your family from? "Pun-Yah" does not sound
like a surname that reasonably might be expected in any part of
Europe, East or West, with which I am familiar, nor does it resemble
any name from North Africa, Turkey, or the Arab world that I know. But
those areas are but a small part of the globe.

Where did Pun-Yah live, if you know?
