The Pelasgians are a distinct people who lived in ancient Greece and are mentioned by some ancient historians and authors. It is said that they did not speak Greek, according to Herodotus and that they were even barbarian. So who were these people? What was their relationship to the Greeks? It's sad that the language they spoke hasn't survived to the present day.

I recently learned I am 50% Greek. My birth-father was born in Athens. We don't have a relationship, but I'd love to learn about my Greek heritage so that I can pass it to my children. Are there any websites or organizations that could help? I thought about contacting my local Greek school. What do you think?
