Always avoided social media of any type, but found some interesting bbflux forums about 5 years ago. One Scottish-American guy seemed extreme, but his sourced articles and original documents were impossible to refute. A "bill of lading" for transport caravan was discovered in basement of ancient German building, from about 1400 A.D. The Jews that lead these expeditions to Scandinavia made comments on the most worthy children they had captured(or in a few cases bought from local kidnappers and the poor). Female and fairest of hair/skin/eyes. They were then taken mostly to Turkey and sold to Sultans. Boys were castrated and made pages, scribes, servants, but was still a status sign to have blue-eyed, blond haired ones. Girls were bred, which may explain the green eyes and red hair in many modern ones.
I think this is the source of the old parents' warning "If you're not home before dark, the gypsies are going to take you away!" 😬
