Dutch and north west German population

[Hagogoth]

May I apologyze to be so inmodest to ask your attention for the
population of the Netherlands, my home country?
Before 1940 the rural polulation of the north of the Nederlands war really
pure nordisc-faelish. Dark haired and dark eyed men were extremely rare.
You still can find these kind of men in north Holland(north of Amsterdam),
Friesland and Groningen. But do not forget the German coastal areas such
as East-Friesland and Oldenburg. Still pure nordic-Aurignac/ Bruen men
lived there. In the Netherlands and the northwest coastal area of Germany
the Baltic types are totally absent.
The fishermen population of Zuid-Holland (near the The Hague) is purely
nordic-faelish too. for example Scheveningen, Katwijk and Noordwijk.
Especially in Kat- and Noordwijk most dolichocephalic people of the Netherlands lived. They also are very tall and robust.
I shoud like to receive more information about the Netherlands and know
Dutchmen interested in anthopology.

The father of a woman I know here is from Kuxhaven, which I believe it is the region in Germany that you are refering to. Platdeutsch speaking Germany. He would fit into that Faelid description. And to much an extent, so do his four children.

When you say that before the 40s it was rare to see dark hair and eye people in those rural areas, do you mean that now you find many non-autoctonous elements in there, or that the autoctonous people have been altered through mixing with outsiders?
