Hello all
My wife has an ancestor that was a priest and was murdered in 1906 during the troubles between the Bulgarian Exarchate, and the patriarch of Constantinople. It is my understanding he was murder since he said mass in Greek and the opposing parties wanted him to say mass in Bulgarian. His name was Stoyo Lazhgov later changed by the government to Papadopoulos. His church was in the village of Trsje, Trivouno, Lerin, Florina, Western Macedonia, Greece. His bishop was in Kastoria.
Would anyone have a lead of where I might be able to get a written account of this incident? Also is it possible to find out when the surname was changed?

Good morning
I think I found some information in a blog about Trivouno. It is in Greek, but you can always turn on the translation in English in your browser to understand the content. There is a reference that priest Gerasimos, ordained two other priests: Ioannis papa-Maggos, son of papa-Konstantinos and your relative Stoyo papa-Lazgo.
