Diğerleri 1960-61 yıllarında Aytos belediyesi köylerine göç etmişlerdi. İbrahimler köyü, birkaç mahalleden oluşmuştur: İbramlar, Karaveliler, Yamaç mahalle ve Kanoğulları, Arda nehrin üzerine bir kuş gibi konmuştur. Karşılarındaki Bezdüven dağı, tıpkı bir dev misali üzerlerine sanki boynunu uzatmış, gitmiştir. Geçmişte, kimler kurmuş, kimler konmuş şu küçük Rodop mekanına, bilinmiyor. Her halde ya üç kardeş, ya da sülale bu yamaçları "feth" etmişler, bu dağ sırtlarını mekan edinmişlerdir.

Individuals andgroups often use identities strategically to adapt to a variety of situations to produceand support effective self-concepts.
