NON-EUROPEAN ORIGIN of the Shiptars!
The Bulgarians(modern macedonians) crossed the Danube before the reign of Justinian, and kept constantly pouring down from the vast plains of Poland, Lithuania, and Russia, during the sixth century; and they continued gradually gaining ground in the fine countries of Macedonia and Illyria, until the fall of the Byzantine empire.

NON-EUROPEAN ORIGIN of the Shiptars!
but you are bulgarians what exactly makes u ancient macedonian??? from the same book you .... Besides the three great families of Turks, Greeks, and Albanians, there are to be found, in the Greek provinces of European Turkey, two other tribes, equally distinct from these and from each other, though infinitely less numerous. These are the Bulgarians and the Vlachs. The Bulgarians are a race of Sclavonian origin, and are supposed by some to have been a tribe of the Huns. Their physical appearance is totally different from that of the Greeks and Albanians. More powerful in form, they are of a heavy build, while their features are coarser, and devoid of the acute and intelligent expression which is so remarkable in the Greek and even in the Albanian physiognomy. The Bulgarians are brave but cruel, strong workmen, but brutal in their habits and manners; and the best and most advantageous of their characteristics is their aptness for country labour. They are, in fact, the best agriculturists of European Turkey: diligent husbandmen, they have consequently spread their colonies partly over Thrace, and partially even in Macedonia; although in the middle ages they had extended them over the greatest part of what is called now European Turkey. are we clear now my bulgarian neighbour (Aug 7, 2012 | post #93)

GEORGIOS KASTRIOTIS a Greek national hero of Albania
its obvious you ignoring the greatest historian such as gibbon ...With that established, let us turn our attension to the actual origins of the Kastrioti family. One place commonly held to be the place of origin for the Kastrioti family is Kastoria in Greek Macedonia. As can be seen by Hodgkinson's treatment of the question, this theory does not even fit with Greek claims. Kastor, the root for Kastoria, is a Hellenic word for beaver and Kastoria has long been known for its furs. Clearly on can see that Kastor does not fit with Kastrion, meaning castle or citadel. Furthermore, there is no documentation whatsoever for the Kastrioti family having its origins in Kastoria. Now before we begin with further examination, here are some pictures to get one familiar with the geography: molov unfurtunately i cant post the maps in here but ill give you the link if you wish...... Marinus Barletius, who is the most original and authoritative source on Scanderbeg, places the origins of the Kastrioti family in Northern Albanian when he says, "John Kastrioti is from an old house of Mat".(mat is aerea in northen albania) P. Lukari and E. Fermenxhin both trace the Kastrioti famliy back to the Has region where according to them there existed a place called Kastri. There also follows that nearby was a place called Mazrrek, and that a second surname of the Kastrioti's could have been Mazrreku, or Mazarreku. The Kastriot location in the Dibra area is also a possible place of origin for the Kastriotis, but as Fan Noli points out, it is not clear wether the Kastriotis took there name for the place, or the place from them. Another common place of origin is said to be the Kastrat area just northwest of Shkoder, which should also not be ignored. Athanas Gegaj tells us that the Kastrioti's are from Kastri in Mirdite. Notice that all the above places are in northern Albania. Also in the below we can see that the Kastrioti family is given as Albanian by a heraldry page that even lists Charles Hopf as one of its sources! Furthermore it informs us that in all certainly, the Kastrioti family begins with John, Scanderbeg's father: http://www.heraldi ca.org/topics/nati onal/a...a.htm#cas triota hope you learned something today (Aug 4, 2012 | post #2603)

A son of John (Gjon) Kastrioti, prince of Emathia, George was early given as hostage to the Turkish sultan. Converted to Islām and educated at Edirne, Turkey, he was given the name Iskander—after Alexander the Great—and the rank of bey (hence Skanderbeg) by Sultan Murad II. During the defeat of the Turks at Niš (1443), in Serbia, Skanderbeg abandoned the Turkish service and joined his Albanian countrymen against the ... (100 of 246 words) (Aug 2, 2012 | post #2598)
