Most of Greeks who arrived in USA during the 1890-1920 era come from Peloponnesos (especially Laconia and Arcadia ). Later waves of Greek migrants come from all places of Greece and a large part comes from the Greek refugees of Minor Asia.
My great grandfather came to Chicago from Laconia at the end of 19th century...

One of English university professor once told me how proud the English are of their Hellenic culture. When discussing a topic about culture and civilization, a French professor professed that they (the FRENCH) see themselves as the continuation of the GRECO-ROMAN culture. Hellenism is a global entity. There is a little bit of Greek in every freedom loving and honorable human. Isn't it amazing that the almost 200 years the Greek civilization flourished is still injecting the ageless, never-ending, values and knowledge.

22:34 Crawling to the holy person/altar is a sign of respect and humility. Many believers make a promise to crawl in holy places like Tinos island (from the port to the church door) in exchange of their prayers being heard.

To say that the Asian DNA that they have is Turkic is very stupid. Even most Turks don't have Turkic DNA because they were in small number when they came to the region and had to heavily mix with local population to the point that they become genetically identical with the people of the area they conquered. The Asian DNA is probably native Anatolian DNA that Turks also have but predates them to the area. And the Caucasus DNA is most lucky Armenian. Also, Turkic DNA is categorized as Central Asian and not as Middle Eastern.

In the 70s, I went to a small private school in NY called St. Andrews Academy and there were many Greeks and we had to learn French and Greek. Now I know why there is a big Greek community. The elementary school was at a big mansion. Good memories.
