Welcome aboard.

You seem to be pretty familiar with the Khazars?

What is your view on the question of how many of them had converted to Judaism?

I've always found that to be a really interesting little known facet of history and one that sure sparks debate. Most scholars agree that at a minimum the gentry converted and contributed to arguable degrees to the Ashkhenazim identity.

As far as I know for fact, nobility converted, think most did...but conquered peoples didn't. Kazars conquered in 11th centuary by Kieven Russ.
