Bulgarian Gedmatch from Western Thrace

[Pubiczar]

Thank you. Not sure but i think with these med scores we can assume s/he has Greek admixture. 20-22 East med and 17-18 west med is typical for Bulgarians but 25-20... Eh i'm not sure.

He is my y-dna match on YFULL: https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-Y16729/

On the sea coast of Strandzha, like Tsarevo and Ahtopol, there is high possibility of Greek ancestry. In the inland there weren't many Greeks, today there are very few people left in this region.

Most places on the southern Black sea coast are home to many refugees from Western and Eastern Thrace, however many migrated to Burgas, which is the closest big town. Today half of the population of Tsarevo is gypsies, not sure for the other towns like Primorsko and Ahtopol.

Looks like strong Greek mixture on the Thracian coast.

Exactly. While most Greeks left for Greece during the population exchange after WW1, some stayed and assimilated. There are two famous musician from Pomorie who are of partial Greek ancestry

[Pubiczar]

His paternal ancestry is from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brashlyan

Is he more southern-shifted than a Thracian Greek or do Thracian Greeks score similar to him?

[Mingle]

On the sea coast of Strandzha, like Tsarevo and Ahtopol, there is high possibility of Greek ancestry. In the inland there weren't many Greeks, today there are very few people left in this region.

Most places on the southern Black sea coast are home to many refugees from Western and Eastern Thrace, however many migrated to Burgas, which is the closest big town. Today half of the population of Tsarevo is gypsies, not sure for the other towns like Primorsko and Ahtopol.

Do you think he's descended from Aegean Bulgarians or the region he's from just has a lot of Ancient Greek DNA?

[Voskos]

One day, and please dont take this personally, Bulgarian, Turkish, Italian and other non native languages will be banned in the balkans.

***** posted that his father is from an old Bulgarian village in Strandzha, most people from there migrated to different parts of Bulgaria. As for the coast of Strandzha - it used to be inhabited mostly by Greeks until 100 years ago. 90% of Bulgarians living on the southern coast are from elsewhere. Strandzha as a whole - not more Greek than the rest of Bulgaria.
