Ashkenazim Are Descended From Abraham.
I want to ask it, but the title is not supposed to be a question. Please support your claims. I heard that they descend from Khazars or some people near Russia or someplace above the near East. That they were a nation whose king converted to Judaism and led/made others (to) do it, and that they migrated to Germany, Poland, etc. Sephardim are truly descended from the patriarch, so I've heard.

I don't know who the Ashkenazim are, so if you'd please educate me I might respond.

 They are considered Jews. They're from Germany and Eastern Europe. I think they are the majority of those considered Jews. On the other hand are the Sephardim, of Spain and Mediterranean regions (and the Near East, I think).
