remnants are-

VANDALS- Andalucia, Corsica, Sardinia,

East Germanic peoples tend to be dark-eyed with full mouths, high cheek
bones and heavy frames. Because they lived on the boarders of Finnish
& Avar lands, many have Eurasian features.
The FRANKS and RHEINLANDERS were 'High German' tribes of
north central origin, with some Celto-Teutonic admixture.
Principal remnant areas are- Alsace,
Lorraine, Champagne, Rheinland,
Franconia, Westphalia. They tend to be tall, willowy and fair or reddish
haired.
ANGLES, SAXONS, JUTES & FRISII were the principal
W-Germanic ['Low German'] tribes, with remnants dominating all areas close
to the North Sea. They tend to be blond, blue-eyed and sallow-skinned.
In 806 Charlemagne divided the Frankish Empire among his three sons. The Eastern Franks of Austrasia were separated from their Western Frank kinsmen in Neustria by the buffer 'corridor state' of LOTHARINGIA, incorporating the Belgians of the Low Countries, and the Goths of Provence. When a new dynasty arose in Austrasia under Otto I in 939, the East Frankish lands became the Kingdom of Germany, and the descendants of Lothar, son of Charlemagne, the 'Dukes of Lothringen [Lorraine]'.
