I've compiled an album of old pictures of individuals from a small and extremely homogeneous community in rural Iowa in the USA. These individuals all were either directly from Prussia or all of their ancestors were German Lutherans from Prussia, specifically the regions of Pomerania and Neumark.

I'd like to hear all of your opinions on their taxonomy- regarding prevailing classifications of the group and where they would pass.

Some specific questions I'm interested in hearing opinions on: Would most of these individuals be able to pass in modern-day Germany? Do they as a whole look more Slavic or Germanic?

IMO they look more Germanic than Balto-Slavic.

I don't see why not. Individually they all pass, as a whole they some elevated EE influence, but nothing out of ordinary.
