Macedonia region census early 1900s

[Poligiros]

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone can post a map or census information from any source (reputable or not) showing Macedonians or even "Slav-Macedonian" population breakdowns in the early 1900s up until 1950, along with the other ethnic groups in Aegean Macedonia?

Please provide the source, whether it be wiki or any other medium and the yea.

I have seen an Ottoman census in another thread a while back. Please re post along with any other info.

Thanks

Shows the kind of Hellenic population breakdown that I was expecting and 2 of my grandparents regions of Aegean Macedonia. This is prior to the population exchanges.

The native Hellenic population is still prevalent in the coastal, southern, eastern and western regions of Aegean Macedonia.

its a very interesting map because its actually written by a greek for the Athens university and too me it makes no sense, he is not writing within the guidelines of the greek idea,

how can slav Macedonians exist in Macedonia,but no Bulgarians, how can greeks be dominant areas, but not in Salonika, are the greeks showed in the Macedonia ethnic Greeks or just part the Greek Orthodox Church, the map makes no sense whatsoever.

That's what I thought too. Looks like Mr Bean made this map.

You have asked that before. There are several threads with maps, I think the best aggregation is here:

http://www.macedoniantruth.org/forum...en+maps&page=8

Post #72 has 4 links to a total of 40 (!) maps, aggregated in a Bulgarian website, yet very good one.

Post #77 has a wikipedia link to a total of 24 maps.

Of course, the most famous maps appear in both sites.

and how on earth is what you showed relevant to what was asked in the question.

You're not familiar to the Greek ideas (of 1910s or today). The difference between Bulgarians and Slavs in Macedonia is inexistent or hard to find and especially paint in a map. The area around Thessaloniki is yellow (as far as I can see), i.e. ethnic Greek. Ethnic Greek means Christian Greek speaker. Muslims and Slav speakers are in different colors.

By the way, the smaller map (in lower-left) is later that the big map and the main differences can be found in the district of Kilkis. Thus, the two maps are probably BEFORE and AFTER the Balkan wars and population exchanges with Bulgaria.

Greek ideas ?? Aide re aderfe all your doing is validating there stupidity . Why don't you ask for ethnic maps of Vardar from 1900 from them before the bulgar population exchange or even from the 40s . Monastiri , Gevgeli , strumitsa . Xorio mou from fathers side (Kastoria ) was bi-trilingual , mums was aswell so what we spoke made no difference .

I can't recall a village by the name of Xorio in Kostur?

You sure that's the real name?
