Even in terms of physical resemblance and family members married in from Edessa, Florina and Igoumenitsa, some are dark, have Hellenic features but I cannot see any difference between these relatives who are bilingual speakers, and my family. What is your opinion?
As for ancient Greek forefathers, what I was suggesting is even if the ancient Macedonians were a distinct culture, ethnicity etc, they did adopt the Hellenic culture for trade and expansion, therefore you should embrace this aspect of Macedonian culture, in addition to Roman and other elements that comprise Macedonian history.
