 further to when they were Magyars instead of Turks, IIRC you'll find
 they settled in/conquered not only Anatolia, but also what is now know
 as Hungary and Finland.  >>

No one has a set date as to when the split occurred between the Magyars and 
the Finns (and Estonians for that matter),  but it is believed to be sometime 
after the creation of agriculture.  All that remains now are linguistic 
similarities.

As for any connection between the Magyars and Turks they are two different 
distinct ethnic groups.  The Magyars were ruled by the Khazars and arrived 
into the Carpathian Basin around the year 895 CE.  They are the ancestors of 
the modern Hungarians.  The Turks arrived into Asia Minor at a much later 
date, wiping out what remained of the Byzantine Empire.  They established the 
Ottoman Empire which expanded through much of the near and far east and as 
far north as Hungary by 1527.
