This is the second time this week for someone to told me - 'vie Stipjani ludi choeci ste-cudno pleme..'..Well judging by me and my dad - its DEFINITLY true!!!

I was talking also about me Shtipjanite sme luda raja Brigijci

Yea i wanted to tell you that too - we Stipjani descend from the Brigi - wich was only one of the Mako clans, ppls...

guys I was born in Stip and I wondered why I am crazy:)))
Now I have the answer..

Does anyone have any documents listing VMRO members in the Lerin district. I have heard stories about my pre pre dedo being involved in action against the Turks. He supposedly played host to many European and Turkish Diplomats, sourcing information for the Macedonian fight for freedom.

My family was quite prominent in the region and suffered severely at the hand of the Greeks. We were used as an example to others to get into line. I don't want to publicly put the family name here as it may cause problems for my relo's back in the village. PM me if you think you may be able to help. All I have of him is his name and a portrait.

From the village of P’pezhani, Tashko Popov, Dimitar Popov-Skenderov and Todor Trpenov were beaten and sentenced to 12 years prison. Pavle Mevchev and Atanas Popov from Vrbeni and Boreshnica joined them in early 1927, they were soon after transferred to Kozhani and executed. As they were leaving Lerin they were heard to shout "With our death, Macedonia will not be lost. Our blood will run, but other Macedonians will rise from it".
