Summary/Abstract: Gallipols in Pehčevo, a small town in what is today Eastern Macedonia, are descendants of population originating from the Gallipoli (Gelibolu) Peninsula in Turkey. Until the end of the First World War their ancestors had for several centuries lived in the village of Bajramič (Bayramli); in 1922 they were expelled and resettled in the village of Pehčevo in Macedonia, then part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In the first part of this paper historical data and facts from the literature are presented, as well as informants’ accounts on the origin and migration of Gallipols, collected during field research in August 2016. The second part contains the analysis of the formation, modification, passing down, and interpretation of the traditions on community’s origin in the past and present.
