I understand that a relative of mine died fighting for the Ilinden uprising against the Turks, and I am wondering where I can find out the details of his death. Is that kind of information available anywhere?

Village Church, my dads village is one of the most remote and the highest villages in ohrid everyone has moved out of the village except for one old man called mitre, it has a plauque memorial built at the entrance of the village it has all the Illiden Fighters that died in battle and one for the balkan wars,world war 1 and 2,

Mate, don't think there is much recorded as the uprising was seen as more of a terrosit ploy than people taking liberty into their own hands. I have similar info about my relatives, my pred-dedo had his arm blown off for supporting Macedonia. The selo (Kochista) was pro Macodonia, they were in the hills, a "GreeK" from Lisolaj came during the night and burned down the selo, pretty crazy ha? From what I understand the Greek church paid people to be "Greek" and destroy and burn non-Greek stuff (i.e. selos) Go to Lisolaj now and if you find someone who knows 1 Greek word I will give you $1000. From what I understand being a Macedonain was hard work as you didn't know who to trust as neighbouring selos were sided with different sides.

What part of Macedonia are you from?

Dad's village is Capari, Bitolsko, Mum's Lavci, Bitolsko

Mines Kocista, Bitola (Now gone), Dragozani and Aglarci, both bitolski

What do you expect when Grci from Athens came with big money financed by the Government of Greece, buying off some Macedonians and then threatening the whole village to convert to the Patriarchate church if they were Macedonians who were members of the Excharate church.
There was no, wait i'll think about it, people lived in fear, kid's women, old folk were killed right there and there full stop, how many Macedonians converted to Muslim under the threat of death? it's nothing different there either, that time was a time of uncertainty in Macedonia, VMRO couldn't have been everywhere.

What is the name of your relative Bushav ? because i have a book on the history of Pelagonia and Mariovo between the years 1856-1950 & his name might just be in it - longshot but who knows ? i have also posted some pages from it on the History section.

Sekirani.. Any record of an Angele Kotevski or Trajcevski (or Kotev, or Angele na Trajcevci) from Dolno/Sredno Egri?

I will have a look and get back to ya but do u know the time period at all

Yeah, between 1890 and 1950. Thanks

Was he your great grandfather or grandfather and did he fight in the ilinden uprising or WW2 ?

My Great Grandfather he was a Komita who shot dead a Turk with his rifle at the Egri farmlands then ended up serving time in jail..
