Bulgarians: From where do you come from?

[Lemon Kush]

So what? I identify as Bulgarian. I didn't know I'm 1/8 Vlach since the end of May. Do you believe there are people who are 100% Bulgarian, 100% Greek, 100% Italian whatsoever?

Western Bulgarians tend to be lighter (Pernik, Kyustendil, Blagoevgrad)

So people living in Western Bulgaria are pure Bulgarians, while those in Eastern Bulgaria are mixed with Greeks?

From Thrace basically, i can't trace my family tree earlier than 100 years. Father side is from Burgas region, village of Zidarovo, very close to the Black Sea.
Mother side: From Northern Greece (Aegean Thrace) refugees from the Balkan Wars who settled in Burgas.
