It seems real odd that no one mentioned the Polish roots until a casual conversation with the uncle. I mean, wouldn't they have spoken it, someone (your parents) would have knowledge of their history too?

I know its odd, My family is... idk..my dad doesn't care much about the history of our family,my mom she doesn't talk to me.. my uncle and my late grand momma are and were the only ones that spoke Polish to each other and talked about family members I never knew of or heard of that live in Poland.. so its a mystery to me why I haven't been informed of anything, so when u say its real odd, its real odd to me why my parents never told me of these things.. until I asked my uncle one day.

Genealogy / How to change my Americanized last name to my real (Polish) last name? [23]

Hello everyone, My name is Chris.
Recently I asked my uncle if we were, Polish or Irish?
and he told me we were indeed Polish,and he told me why our last name is the way it is and not our Polish last name and he told me that when our great grandparents I believe thats who he said came to America they changed their last names to a Irish last name..

then he went on about Slavic..but didn't get into it much,because he was in a rush to get back to work...so what is Slavic?

I would like to change my last name to my real last name..but i dont know how, I am 25yrs old.
I'm proud to be Polish!
I want to learn so much more,and I want to visit Poland now.
