Originally posted by HistoryGuy I find that Serbs are very close to Poles.... Is this true? Did Serbs migrate from Poland northern Eastern Europe area?

All Slavs come from Poland/Belarus but they have mixed heavily with natives of the regions they settled in the Middle Ages.

No, Serbs didn't come from Turkey... But, many Serbs have Turkish blood in them now-a-days, because some Serbs married Turks.

Originally posted by HistoryGuy i seriously thought they came from an area in turkey...

No. That makes no sense. Slavic migrations, starting c. 700 CE, took out from Poland and nearby regions, their native homeland since about the Bronze Age.

But they obviously didn't migrate to virgin lands nor displaced the natives significatively: they mixed heavily with them. In this sense Southern Slavs are probably closer to their non-Slavic neighbours (Rumanians, Hungarians) than to Poles.

In any case they never came from Turkey. Another very diferent thing is that Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia and Bulgaria were for many centuries under Ottoman rule.

I wouldnt say that Serbs are closer to their non slav nieghbors then to Poles. Serbian and Polish have a similar language, and they both looks slavic, there traditions are similar, and the serbs od indeed come form western polend when they settled there before coming form the Caucasus probabaly. The croats settled eastern-southern poland and established a kingdom called Chrobatia centered in Krakow.

language yes

look probably no bosnians and serbs and croats look similar but they also look more similar to albanians than poles

migratory tribes never numbered in millions of member maybe in hundreds of thousands if ever so high - i.e. the barbaric german kingdoms of the west had perhaps fifty thousands franks, a hundred or so thousand goths, that is why they retained the romance languages and the latin roman culture for so long, which eventually was molded locally into unique cultures that had a common ancestry.  same with the balkans the only difference the slavs "slavicized" the inhabitants of the region, as the bulgars were slavicized even though the ruling class was of non slavic deascant, but most bulgars today would because the real bulgar tribe did not number in ten million people.  migrations do not happen is such high numbers at least not two thousand years ago it was logistically impossible to travel in such high numbers.

Originally posted by Scytho-Sarmatian Chrobatia was also known as "White Croatia." Do people from eastern-southern Poland retain any identification with "White Croats"?

I haven't met anyone who called themselves White Croatian, I have read that some immigrants from that region when coming to America identified themselves as White Croatian.
