I believe you are confusing the path followed by the doctrine with an 
actual mass migration of people. As far as I know, almost all of the 
Cathar's were simply French or Italian, converted to that particular 
heresy.

What source suggests that they were actually people who had migrated 
from Asia Minor?

The perfecti or the rest of the believers?

What is the source for that?
