Talk:Maslina Grancharova

Untitled

Maslina Grancharova was born in Ottoman Empire. He was in any way related neither to Greece, nor to the Greeks. Jingiby (talk) 16:25, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Maslina Grancharova was my grea-great-great-grandaunt. I know from a primary source (Kitcha Grancharova, Maslina's niece and my great-great-grandmother) that Zagorichani is the same village as Vassiliada, Kastoria. The village was populated by Bulgarians and Macedonian Greeks, the latter of which my family was. My previous changes to the article regarding Vangel's inability to care for Kitcha were based on accidentally false information given to me by my grandmother (Kitcha's granddaughter). Upon checking my family records, I realized that Vangel had died around the same time that Kitcha had been born. I informed my grandmother of the facts she gave me were incorrect, and she informed me that she had made assumptions regarding Vangel's being alive. Having the facts with me, I corrected the article I'd written.

I will be returning the article to the correct information, though I will omit the POV. LhikJovan (talk) 18:26, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

According to several statisics, there were any Greeks in Zagorichani, but only Slavs, who in the second half of the 19th century fell under the jurisdiction of the Bulgarian Exarchate. Check here, please. Jingiby (talk) 05:50, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

I see... In that case, it seems likely that Maslina and her family were Grecoman, holding to Greek culture while still being ethnically separate. That would explain Kitcha's assertion that they were Greek. LhikJovan (talk) 07:50, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Imposible. Most Greeks, i.e. Grecomans were expelled from Bulgaria during 1920-s. Jingiby (talk) 09:15, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Hmm. The reason for my opposition is that I'm simply confused why Kitcha held so vehemently that she was Greek. LhikJovan (talk) 14:52, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't know. Probably by her (Kitsha), the Grecomania had crucial effect. Jingiby (talk) 18:15, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

This interview is not quoted properly, according to Wikipedia basic rules this material need to be published, otherwise it is "original research" and its place is not in Wikipedia articles. Probably you understand that otherwise everyone can add whatever information he wants in any article and this information could not be checked. The national consciousness is personal matter and is very likely many grecomans to set in Bulgaria, and many bulgarians did not left greek part of Macedonia. But for all this we need proper prooves, her participation in IMARO so far speaks of strong pro-bulgarian feelings. --Подпоручикъ (talk) 10:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
