Is John Atanasoff more European than Andrew Quinn?

Hmmm... to tell the truth, I'm not sure. Normally I'd say "Yes" since I consider Atanasoff Bulgarian, but he probably didn't spend much time living here. I've seen some documentaries where he himself can't decide if he's American or Bulgarian. So there really isn't a way for me to tell. But on the other hand, Mr. Quinn's family also immigrated from Europe, just like John Atanasoff's father, Ivan. It all depends. I'd doubt that Mr Quinn thinks of himself that he's more European than American, although his family is jew.
But on the other side, if we don't mind the way they think of themselves, I wouldn't say one of them is more European than the other. Because as I said, part of both their families came from Europe.
Both sides of the question have to be given a good look at, and more research is needed, but for now, based on facts, not what I personally think, I'd say one is just as european as the other.
