About us

1. Identify the genetic makeup and deep ancestry of the Turks of Bulgaria and in the process form a picture of the centuries long migratory patterns explaining their origins and settlement in the historical region of Ottoman Rumelia

2. Assist genealogists and researchers in studying Ottoman colonisation of the Balkans 

3. Look for traces of the spread of Turkish and Turkic languages in Southestern Europe (i.e., also pre-Ottoman migrations possibly Tatar, Seljuk, Gagauz, Cuman, Pechenegs and Pomak)
