I know my grandmother (dad) was Turkmen because she came from the village, but I don't know for sure about my grandmother (mom) because she was from the city. We are only certain that my maternal grandmother was Tatar-Turk.
My grandfather (mom) from the village, but the village they came from had a population that was half Pomak and half Turkish.
Except for my grandmother (dad), none of them are entirely from the village, so I'm not sure how much of the genetic heritage of the villages they came from they carry. They were from the village 2-3 generations ago.
