the names Vasil, Filko, stefo are my forefarthers in that order then came Vasil again my father. These names still exist in todays generations ie: sons, nephews.....
it was my great grandfather Filko, who packed his bags and family then left Bouf which was around 1906, who head to a city and chose Bitola. This was the time when Macedonia were still under Ottoman rule.
The story goes, they arrived at a fork in the road. Left was Bitola, right was Lerin. There was no real plan so it was a case of flip a coin. talk about spear of destiny, if Lerin was chosen, i could have easily been Helenised and today believing my forefathers were related to the ancient Greeks
