something interesting on Pomaks Other Theories for the Origin of the Pomaks
Genetic Origin
A specific DNA mutation, HbO-Arab, which emerged about 2,000 years ago on a rare haplotype is characteristic of the Greek Pomaks. Its frequency increased as a consequence of high genetic drift within this population. This indicates that the Greek Pomaks are an isolated population with limited contacts with their neighbours.[59] According to some Greek researchers, the DNA tree line of Greek Pomaks suggests that they descend from ancient Thracian tribes.[60] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomaks#Genetic_Origin59. HbO-Arab mutation originated in the Pomak population of Greek Thrace, Haematologica, Vol 90, Issue 2, 255-257, 2005 by Ferrata Storti Foundation

60. ^ The origin of Greek Pomaks is based on HbO-Arab mutation history

It would be interesting to know whether some of these traditions are related to some of the ancient people who have resided there.
