Hmm, most likely your grandparents was Gagauz because most members of the Istanbul Greek church from eastern Thrace was Gagauz christian Turks. There was also Bulgarians in eastern Thrace who were also members of Istanbul church. Obviously these people were intermarrying within each other and thats exactly why your grandparents was speaking Turkish and a bit Bulgarian.
I also don't believe that they were able to speak Greek at all. They were speaking pure Turkish and had Turkish liturgy in churches. The knowledge of Greekish Rum tongue among the Bulgars and Gagauz of Thrace was NONEXISTENT. They couldn't even count from 1 to 10 in Greek language.
So, you my friend, a perfect example of a grecoman (!!!)
