ancestral city in Iran.
Fasa is a small town in Fars, which dates back to the Achaemenian times.
It's mentioned in the Persepolis archives and is sister town to Darab (Darius Town- founded by Darius I).
Intriguingly Fasa may have meant Pasa, "City of the Persians."

funnily enough Fasa was considered "ancient/mythical" in the Khuda-nameh; the Sassanian text on the Kings of Iran

I'll use this thread as my "ancestry" thread as V & I have interesting lineages.
my (late) paternal grandmother was born in Karol Bagh, which of course was a heavily Muslim area.
She was born a Bahá'à but her father hailed from Naugawan Sadat in UP and was a Shi'ite Sayyid

Naugawan Sadat & Amroha are, what I joke to be the "factories of Sayyid"; they are usually Naqvi Sayyids (I can't remember her maiden names; incidentally both my grandmothers have very "Mughal names""
I have a lot to write on my ancestry & V's now that I have the ancestry thread
