Discovered I am descended from the Mongols mixing with eastern Europe...

This according to genes. Through paperwork the furthest back I can trace my ancestors is to Alsace-Lorraine in 1716, but during the next 100 or so years they moved East to Czechoslovakia and remained their until after WW1. This was some sort of family split.
The main family name is LeGore which seems French but there is not a translation easily for this. The best i could get to was "the pig" so maybe pig farmers? The LeGore family heads served high ranking with LaFayette and settled in Maryland in Lime-stoning after some legal issues involving a semi-legal duel/murder. There was some sort of family split though. The other side that moved to Eastern Europe is Huzovich and I know little other than their movement to America in the 1930s. This is all on my maternal side and have only had contact with the Huzovich family once as a small child, yet my mother carries their name (middle) where others carry the LeGore.

Any help is most appreciated. Initially thinking Cossack due to the settling by the mongols, but could be Hun as well though there was much more killing there and less intermingling. What, I'd like to see if anyone has input on is Mongolians settling and breeding with Europeans, and also any input into the strange French sounding name.

P.S. I look like a regular Caucasian.
