I think is Ottoman census.This that told me a Bulgarian.I have my doubts because Ottomans used the religion in theirs census figures as choice factor.

Christov can you confirm his claim please?

[Christov]

Yes, I know this webpage. Personally I have my doubts about the accuracy of this statistic, because I think the villages with mixed ethnics were more than the given.
