There are 350 members of this "Layous" family, they live in the town of Mi'ilya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mi%27ilya), they claim to be descendants of hungarian crusdares who went to the levant in 1217 and were lead by Andrew II (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_II_of_Hungary). They were originally from Lebanon, but settled in Palestine 150-200 years ago.

Do you think these individuals phenotypically differ from the local arabs?

Kind of Atlanto-Med mixed with a "Berber type" or just Atlanto-Med berber.

They don't look Arab (Saudi Arabia), IMO. More Europid.

If you want, you can check my thread about Berber from Algeria: http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?210331-Some-Mediterranean-Europid-from-Algeria

The Palestinians on your thread are very similar.

Israel didn't exist before 150 years .. you can say they settled in Palestine.

I know, that's why I wrote "Israel area" (I edited the first post btw)

The surname is Hungarian, if I am not mistaken wasn't that the name of the last emperor before the ottoman conquest?

As for their type, I am not sure, they have some insignificant central-eastern traits (mainly the kind of brachycephaly), but most of their traits look like the north African Arab version of atlantomediterraneans

They can pass from Georgia to S.Greece, they don't look MENA.

The last one passes in Georgia but not in Greece, and vice versa for the rest

They don't look Arabid or "Semitic"
Would rather guess them Balkanians could pass in most Europe especially south.
Material is little possibly Atlanto-Med/Pontic

If the last one can pass anywhere in Europe, according to "Europeans",
then Europe is in deep, deeeeeeeep trouble.
