{com: An extraordinary note. Pity I have ignored it. I should have done a vast amount more local history. This implies that over many years - 60? 20? -
Travun has exported houses which have multiplied in other villages. This confirms that my impression of population stability in 1950 was something both new
and shortlived. I suspect that before say 1935 households moved between villages to gain land advantaage from tempororay advantages -good vacant land, or kin
links to rights. Tragic missed opportunity}
