Polonia in Brazil?

Hi Everyone,

My name is Klara, and I am a student from the United States and Poland. I am looking for Polish people in Brazil as part of a research-experience this year. Just got to Rio, and I know that there are many Poles in Curitiba, but I was wondering if anyone on the board is of Polish descent, living in Brazil? I'd love to meet you!

Take care,

Klara Wojtkowska

Hi Klara,

I am doing the same. If you find any good information on this cultural group, can you share with me? I am willing to find what I am learning as well.

Thanks.

I believe I had a great uncle who emigrated from Wilna to Brazil around 1900-1905. I have very little other information about him except that he had brothers who came to the US. I have just begun to look into this.

Hello, I am looking for information about my Polish relatives who emigrated to Brazil from China in the early 1950s. My uncle Zygmunt Lesniewski,his cousin Lucia (Miedwiediew) Obolensky (husband Lenia), her mother Lodzia (Budzynska) Miedwiediew lived in Sao Paulo. I have letters from Sao Paulo through the 1970s.

I can try what is the surname of his family? What city did they live?

I'm also from Brazil. I live in Paranagua.

I'm about half Polish. I have the Polish surname, the Polish look, everything!

There's a Polish village in Brazil, which is over 100 years old, inhabited almost exclusively by Poles who are bilingual and they are still speaking traditional 100 years old Polish. That's just amazing

There are about about 3 million people of Polish descent living in Brazil.
I know there is quite a large community in Porto Alegre.

People in the comments under the video say that the villagers drink (alcohol) like dragons and this makes them very Polish, too.
