ILIRI I MADH Amicus Posts: 5643 (9/14/07 2:29 pm)	... My take on that would be.... I was at a festival full of Malsors and Shkodrans in the catholic church here...and they are usually darker then the southern albs that I saw in a southern albanian party...I don;t know why is this...but they still looked very albanian (over 80% of them) even thou some were blondish looking albs... I don't think that they have northern euro origin, but their ancestors weren't living in the mountains...the ones from the north did so they look darker...and even the ones that I know that lived in the south that lived in the mountains are darker.... However I know this guy whos ancestors lived in the highest mountains and he is blond...not dinaric and not noric...but I forgot the name for it...it started with "b"...aadmin was classified the same...he is from the mountains in montenegro Deciq (decic mountain) he is related to Ded Gjo Luli...

In the 13th-14th century, Saxons from the Upper Harz and Westphalia settled in and around Chiprovtsi in modern northwestern Bulgaria (then in the Second Bulgarian Empire) to extract ore in the western Balkan Mountains, receiving royal privileges from Bulgarian tsar Ivan Shishman.[1] It is thought that these miners established Roman Catholicism in this part of the Balkans before being completely Bulgarianized (by marrying Bulgarian women) and merging with the local population.[2] Along with spreading Roman Catholicism, the Saxons also enriched the local vocabulary with Germanic words and introduced a number of mining techniques and metal-working instruments to Bulgaria.[3] Ethnic subgroups that are thought to be partial descendants of these Saxons are the Banat Bulgarians and the Krashovani. Saxons also mined ore in the Osogovo and Belasica mountains (between Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia),[4] as well as around Samokov[5] in Rila and various parts of the Rhodopes[6][7] and around Etropole[8] (all in Bulgaria), but were assimilated without establishing Catholicism there. The Saxons miners in Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina—active in Brskovo, Rudnik, Olovo, Novo Brdo and other places—also left a significant trace in the mining and metal-working history of the South Slavs.[9] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxons I'm trying to find a document which mentions an Albanian tribe who has possible german ancestry.....bloody can't find it The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don't agree with. & "Manners are of more importance than laws. Upon them, in a great measure, the laws depend. The law touches us but here and there and now and then. Manners are what vex or smooth, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in. They give their whole form and color to our lives. According to their quality, they aid morals, they support them, or they totally destroy them." - Edmund Burke; Letters on a Regicide Peace, 1797

These areas were known as the lands of ancient Veneti, Illyrian, Dalmatian, Peonian people - also autochtonous, local population.
