Genealogy / Duplaga, Data surnames [67]
I'd say there's not enough information to be sure, not just by the contents. I'll translate every part that includes anything with association to Data surname.
Contents:
Chapter: KAWALEROWIE VIRTUTI MILITARI 329
(Cavaliers of Virtuti Militari Order)
Subchapter: Józef Data 329
Chapter: WIERNI SWEJ MA£EJ OJCZY-NIE 349
( Loyal to their small fatherland )
Subchapter: Stanisław Data 351
SPIS ILUSTRACJI
Chapter: Illustrations listing ( probably just a list of people on different illustrations from the book )
171. Józef Data, legionista 329 ( Józef Data, legionnaire )
182. Stanisław Data 351
That's all there is, it might be worth getting the book, or at least calling the city council and getting some information that you could correlate with what you've come up with.

I would image that most people ( maybe except the most basic levels ) who learn english would prefer a native teacher hence the bigger immersion factor.. It's not a big surprise,had to happen sooner or later.
I'm surprised that nobody has invoked the parallel argument of 'no job unless you're a native English speaker'

UK, Ireland / No job unless you're Polish [201]
That's pretty sad.. But, by answering in the "no job unless you're polish" thread do you mean it was caused by polish immigration? I thought that white collar job sector redundancies and cuts were all due to the global crisis..?
I imagine its being done in all industries, salaries have been driven down...for instance, a friend of mine is a finance administrator (high level) she was made redundant, her salary was £30k, lol, now she is looking and the average is £15k - she was at her company for 8 years, you explain to me, how a salary can half in 8 years?

relax, I was joking taking into consideration all the WW2 bashing "who helped who", "Poland was sold" bleeting :) I prefer a lighter approach to these topics, devoided of vexatious litigants. And although I don't wholly agree with what you've just said I'll say no more to avoid what I had been making fun of earlier.
I was waiting for that...In the case of another war, I'd hope that we turned our back in the first instance and let you defend yourselves and not have our men dying left right and centre only to be stabbed in the back by some ungrateful peasant years after.

Genealogy / Duplaga, Data surnames [67]
Hi moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/data.html
This site seems to indicate that there are two main areas of Data surname incidence. That may pinpoint you in the right direction.
Here you can see:
maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=stara+wie%C5%9B&daddr=rzesz%C3%B3w&hl=pl&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=30.461748,86.572266&ie=UTF8&ll=50.833698,21.994629&spn=3.032154,10.821533&z=7
That there are 5 towns/villages called "Stara Wieś" one is pretty close to Rzeszów (south of it)
While googling for "Stanisław Data" I've found this:
allegro.pl/item906477970_stara_wies_brzozow_z_dziejow_wsi_dydek_unikat.html
It's an auction site similar to ebay it seems someone was selling a book about Stara Wieś and it seems that if you look at the contents there's a chapter called "Illustration listing" and one of the illustrations is called "182. Stanisław Data 351"
It might be just coincidence though. : o Anyways it's the about "Stara Wieś" in Brzozów area.

Really? I've been growing up in Opole and never heard anyone speaking German or Silesian, not even single German word in everydays people chatter, contrary to that in Zabrze where I live you can stumble upon people who use German language, Silesian with a lot of German in it or just Silesian even more of us people in neighbouring cities such as Ruda Śląska..
Opole area - it's the only German wasp nest in Poland ;)

Language / is it stll jeden [33]
It depends on what "one" you're talking about because of the case and gender declension.
Most likely:
Mam jeden / jedną / jedno.... might be "jednego" too
Poproszę jeden / jedną / jedno.
Mam nowy / nową / nowe. "nowego"
It's not that simple ; )
how do i say;
i have got one,
do you want one
can i get one.
i have a new one
its the 'one' im interested in is it still jeden

What's wrong with Roman? It's a normal polish name and surname appearing in Poland since XIII century. Polish people changed surname mainly to foreigners having problems with pronunciation, and sometimes office workers made typos while writing them down...
Katherine had seven children with Wladyslaw Paprocki not with Roman.. which is pretty obvious because there's a date of the second marriage.
Seems your roots are Polish and German.. : o

Love / Tonight, I'm asking my Polish girlfriend if she'll marry me [36]
Completely wrong ; )
"Czy wyjdziesz za mnie?" is the name of the game.. "wy" - is plural it would reassamble asking multiple people at once about marriage..
Another thing is that in Polish you have two words for getting married one for men one for women, the one you used "żenić" is for men which is incorrect in this case. "Wychodzić za mąż" is the women version ; )
"Będzie wy żenicie się mnie?"
