Yes and this was in fact what happened. Marrying within the tribe was considered incest and so this wasn't practiced(unless the Bajraks in a clan were distant). Men chose brides from other clans. For example Kastrati usually intermarried with it's neighbors Hoti and Kelmendi.

No there isn't any results of the Dukagjini, I don't know if there even are any living direct paternal descendants.

They do the same to the pages about Albanian noble families, they say that the Dushmani are Serb in origin and that the Spani(a family from areas around Shkodra) are Greeks lol.

I know, did see that lmao

Anyway, a Dushmani sample coming out soon! So we shall set them straight regarding their origins

Yh hopefully it comes soon, What do you predict them to be? Still though, even if we try to change it they will re-edit. What got me the most was Spani claim, Greeks in Shkodra

Now days tribal lands don’t exist like they did in the past, most that did survive in the last century communism wipped them out, confiscated their land and moved people around into labouring concentration camps.

In the past it was possible in bordering regions or when they believed they were distantly related. But even then wars for turf were pretty common and weaker clans/families got displaced.
