Am I Polish? My last name is: Thompson

Am I Polish? My family on both sides have no idea.

My last name is: Thompson
Grandmother(s) last name: Dick, Greenwood

and Im drawing a blank! Anything there? Will post the other names later, thanks!

Sarah

Thompson, Greenwood...unless they are 'translated' names of Polish origin, can't tell whether you are of Polish descent or not.
You'd better post some other names ;)

Why do you think you're Polish, Sarah? :)

Well, I don't know. I would hope eventually to find out what I am. Not to mention everytime I talk with my Polish pal, he always refers to his friends who are also Polish as his Polish friends. I want to know what in the world he calls me, :) I also want to travel to Poland soon. Also curious about how the locals would respond to me. I am learning Polish.

Thanks,

Sarah

Good luck in your discovering. :) But remember you're who you want to be... If you want to be Polish and study their language/culture no one can prevent of being Polish.

Do you have a grand-mother or grand-grand-father who was Polish? Cause being an American, there are many 'possibilities', you could be of German descent, or Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Norwegian, French, etc. and English of course ;)

all british names.

Why not legally change your name to Tomczyk, Rysio and/or Zieliński and be done with it?
