The Thaçi are often referred to as courageous and smart people by the neighboring tribes due to their supposed qualities of slyness and deception.
The Thaçi were of polyphyletic origin, thus, they are not a traditional Albanian fis in the sense that they do not claim descendant from a common male ancestor.
They refused to recognize his authorities and the conflict has resulted in a good number of persistent skirmishes up to recent times.
Because the Bugjoni drove the Berisha out, there is still hereditary hostility between the two tribes today, and a murder committed between them cannot be atoned for with money.
The Ottoman Turks eventually grew tired and, in 1744, they burnt down the houses of around 105 families which forced them to migrate into the Gjakova region.
The ancestry of the Thaçi lineage is traced back to the Albanian Alps, which is consistent with previous genetic studies.
There are also various oral traditions linking the origin of the Thaçi families to Montenegro or other northwestern areas, but these connections occurred in very early times, before the current tribal structures emerged.
These genetic studies help to better understand the historical connection and origins of Thaçi families and their branches, which can date back up to 1,300 years.
