Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry?

Polonya Tatar Birlik is Turkish. Their flag is like our flag. Polish people suppose Tatars are Mongols. No, they are not. They are Turkic. A Turc and a Tatar can understand each other easily when they talk.

Turks and Polish like each other because we have common things in history. Not only Tatars or Ottomans but also Huns. Meanwhile, There is a Polish village in İstanbul called Polonezköy ( Polish : Adampol )

I've never heard so much strange stories. :))) Posters prove lack of basic knowledge about Poland. :)))

Yup!

Poles chucked Turks out of Europe and Turks got chucked out of Europe by Poles!
That's what I call common history too...
:)

Being Turkic doesnt mean TURKISH bluntly. The Tatars look mongol... their very personality is Mongol... and they came in Europe as a part of the Mongol Army.

I think its very naive of your calling them turkish... to even start with race...they are not turkish at all!

Yes, then you Germans invaded Poland. It is funny a German makes this comment.


Ask to a Tatar if he belongs to Turkic or Mongol world. It is not about race. It is reality.


What is the basic knowledge about this issue.

I have been laughing after seing some theories here.

I agree with you from XIX century Poles and Turks are friends. Our president always mention it.
Tatars are not Turks :) Sobieski was pure Pole and other arguments not supported by data or link are just funny. :)


Out TV sometimes show this vilage. Poles there have church and are respected. It is something Turkey should show in europe.

What is your comment about this link ?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatars


I don't know how pure Pole he is. But he hadn't attacked Turks together with Germans, Ottomans next target would be Germany not Poland. Maybe, You would not be a sandwich between Germans and Russians later.

Yes...and as everybody know Poles and Germans love each other because of their common history, right? Right! :)

--Although by the 18th century the Tatars adopted the local language, the Islamic religion and many Tatar traditions (e.g. the sacrifice of bulls in their mosques during the main religious festivals) were preserved. This led to formation of a distinctive Muslim culture, in which the elements of Muslim orthodoxy mixed with religious tolerance and a relatively liberal society. For instance, the women in Lipka Tatar society traditionally had the same rights and status as men, and could attend non-segregated schools.--

Very positive information.

Your link claim they are member of your family, you are right.


Maybe there is little true in this statement. Who knows what would happen if...

Hi, everybody!!! Just come over to this site when browsing the net. About the origin of tatar people. Turkic people were united first by oguzkhan in the 2 nd century b. c. this empire was in central asia with the capital in ferghana valley. But some tribes doesnt want to obey him(oguzkhan) leaves the central asia towards east. After crossing the deserts of taklan makan and ghobi they coming to the river valleys like irtish, enisey(enisey turkish word means mother water) Starts to habitate from sibir(sibir turkish word means land plenty of water) to far east. Current mongolia was called before turkistan cause main population was turkic. When gengizkhan came to power there were 24 turkic tribes and 3 mongolic tribes in mongolia. Gengiskhan's mother was from turkic tribe called kongrat and all his life he spoke only turkic. because gengiskhan was mongol all his followers started to be called mongols. It is like when franks came to france the main population was galles and franks were small part of total poulation but the country started to be named after them. the same story with angles who assimilated into celtic population in england. the same story with turkic tribe called bulgars who conquered current bulgaria and whole country started to be called after them. if anybody has more questions mail me to u_zoir@yahoo.co.uk cause i think i will not be back to this site again. good luck everybody.

Check out Genghis Khans DNA markers at ftdna.com. Claiming to be a descendent of Genghis Khan is one thing but having similar markers to the ones published is another. Order a test at a minimum of 12 marker Y-DNA test (making sure the same markers are tested) and you'll find out if you are or not.

DNA evidence - Genghis Khan Effect
Zerjal et al [2003] [6] identified a Y-chromosomal lineage present in about 8% of the men in a large region of Asia (about 0.5% of the men in the world). The paper suggests that the pattern of variation within the lineage is consistent with a hypothesis that it originated in Mongolia about 1,000 years ago. Such a spread would be too rapid to have occurred by genetic drift, and must therefore be the result of selection. The authors propose that the lineage is carried by likely male-line descendants of Genghis Khan and his close male relatives, and that it has spread through social selection.

According to Family Tree DNA, Genghis Khan is believed to have belonged to Haplogroup C3.[7]

The 25 Marker Y-DNA Profile of Genghis Khan released by Family Tree DNA is:[7]

I found your question here while having a conversation with my Polish mother and a cousin, about Mongolian ancestry in the Poles. I have always looked a bit Mongolian. Since you say you do also, I'd love to swap pictures and see what you look like!

Gail

My dad's people were Tykotski s from a little town by the same name...
sometimes Russia (Ukraine) , sometimes Poland......They fled Europe
between the World War I and II. The greater family has both Jewish and
Christian relatives.

My Dad, and I, (not so much my brothers who take after
my Mom)........have yellow toned skin, flat faces with high cheakbones .

When my friend Charles hosted a Mongolian boy, we had a gathering in which folks started commenting on how we looked like we could be distant cousins....got me to thinking...how that could be...

Then I remembered the Mongolian invasion of "Eurasia". So...can I check
out my Dad's gene pool through me, a female? ( Dad was buried years ago.)

Turks are originally from Mongolia.

From what I know, Tykotski, for the above mentioned test, you would need to have one of your brothers take it. It is a Y DNA test.

As females we have no Y DNA to test. There are some tests that can look at general DNA inherited from both parents. This one is different and relates to the paternal line. Y DNA is specific to men. As females we have MtDNA which is passed down virtually unchanged from mother-to-mother. Sons receive it, and can be tested to see their maternal lineage, but they cannot pass their mother's MtDNA on to their own children. Any children they have would inherit their own Mom's MtDNA.

So, your best bet to take that Y DNA test would be to get a brother to volunteer. It is not necessary to test the person in the family who looks the most Mongolian.

Can you please tell me what is that "spot"? I am part Polish and Hungarian but was adopted, so I don't know the folklore around it. However, I have a birthmark or "spot" on my left shoulder.

Hello everyone,

For those interested where Poles place in terms of intra-European and inter-continental genetic structure, please refer to my blog. You'll find there many links to latest studies and my commentary on them. Here's an examle...


polishgenes.blogspot

^ Here's a diagram from the above mentioned study, illustrating the genetic position of Poles compared to other Europeans, as well as the Han Chinese, Japanese and Nigerians.

Simon C Heath, Investigation of the fine structure of European populations with applications to disease association studies, doi:10.1038/ejhg.2008.210

Thanks DK1. I haven't looked at it yet, but will do so at some point. One question:

If "on the intra-European graph Poles basically sit between Dresden and Moscow, but mixing more with the latter" and it is "the Russians who are relatively closest to the Asians from China and Japan", how can it be that "the Poles' affinity to the Asians is rather weak in comparison to that shown by most of the other European groups" if we are mixed more with Moscow?

I will attempt to answer my own question: Is it because Moscow is of a different history and mixture than St. Petersburg and Northern Russia? At any rate, given history, I personally find the conclusion that the "Poles affinity to the Asians is rather weak" when Russia's is strong rather weak itself.

"Moscow" here is a proxy location for the ethnic Russian sample, which comes from all over European Russia.


The intra-European comparison just looks at European genetic variation, while the inter-continental comparison is the one that considers foreign admixture.

So the reason for this difference between Russians and Poles is because European Russia is inhabited by many Finno-Ugric and Turkic ethnicities, who have ancient links to East Asians. Thus, some Russians (about 10% on the plot above), are actually just Russified Finno-Ugrics and Turkics, or they are Slavs who have a lot of that admix.

Poland was never inhabited by these groups in a big way, and various migrations and invasions have not proved to have a major demographic impact on the population.

In any case, the samples and amount of markers tested here are very impressive. They give an objective view of genetic relationships. On the other hand, historical sources tend to be imprecise and very subjective.

Thanks DK1. I will take a closer and more thorough look as promised. I am part Hungarian and part Polish, so I guess my genetic mix would push me closer to the Russians. I understand what you are saying about history and the genetic samples, but that doesn't mean a scientific study is without bias. I still find it hard to believe, but I will explore it further.

*edit: By the way, people on this thread seem to know a lot about genetics and I want to have a DNA test. I am adopted, and it is important to me to know my full ethnic heritage. I am female, and want to know the full ancestry from both mother and father. I live in South Korea right now, so I need a test that can be available anywhere.

Any suggestions?

Btw...

The above study used many genome wide SNPs, which are markers located at different sites around the genome that give an indication of genetic structure, and thus genetic relationships.

Other, somewhat less sophisticated ways of looking at population genetics are Y-chromosome (paternal) and mtDNA (maternal) lineages. These can give us an idea of the ancestry of groups and individuals, provided we also take into consideration the sex biased nature of these lineages, genetic drift and natural selection.

Here are a couple of reports...

Rafal Ploski, Homogeneity and distinctiveness of Polish paternal lineages revealed by Y chromosome microsatellite haplotype analysis, 10.1007/s00439-002-0728-0

B. A. MALYARCHUK, Mitochondrial DNA variability in Poles and Russians, 10.1046/j.1469-1809.2002.00116.x


Your best bet is 23andme. All other companies aren't worth the bother at the moment, or they're too expensive.

Thanks DK1. I took a look at your website and the study looks quite extensive. I'm sure I will be on there lots. I don't know much about genetics and DNA studies, so I have some reading up to do.

Absolutely, Poles can have Mongal blood!

My mom's family always suspected this. I have almond eyes, as did my uncle, Joe, had very almond eyes, very dark hair.

My mom's family has some Polish, also German and French. My dad's parents were Lithuanian immigrants.

I took a DNA test to confirm or rule-out Asian blood. My results were 7% East Asian ancestry.
___________________________________________________________________

I am CONVINCED that the Mongol invasions left a HUGE imprint in the Slavic European gene pool.

Do you know who Charles Bronson is? The late actor? Find some photos of him on the search engines, and you will see his Asian ancestry, at least it seems quite likely.

I think he was Lithuanian and Polish. Anyway, he looked like he was part Indian to me. He sometimes portrayed Indians or Mexicans due to his looks.

I can see the Asian blood in me, and the DNA test confirmed my hunches.

i quite agree with you, deedee. is your blood type B by any chance? it ss the blood type that originated in asia (himalayas to be exact) over 15,000 years ago (i think i got the number right) and since asia is THE ONLY place this blood type originates, if someone`s got that blood type, they must have got some asian ancestry somewhere down the line.

i suspect that if i traced my family tree, and could trace it that far, i`m sure i`d get to a point where i`d find out that i`ve got some tatar ancestry. moreover, i`ve got blood type B as have most of my immediate family members from both my mother and father`s side. my mom`s sister`s facial features are similar to an indian person`s and her daughter looks a bit chinese. i, myself, was told that i look chinese in the dark and have got slanting eyes, high cheekbones, small lips, big nose, the lot.

i`m thinking of having a dna test done now just to prive my lil theory right :)

I have 0 rh+ blood group.

something like 1 in 5 people in the whole world are related to ghengis khan. I believe that most people haveat least a miniscule amount of mongolian dna.

Muslim Tatars in Poland

Armenians have different ancestry but they are one of east cultures noticable in Polish history.

The Armenian character

Norman Davies suggests in "God's Playground. A History of Poland" that we came from Iran. So who is the real Aryan nation here? ;) I wouldn't mind having such ancestors - wasn't eg. Bodhidarma from there? And I like Iranians - get along with them. Warm-hearted, human, not psychopathic people, unlike, ahem, others from the Middle East.

:)


- And of course, sjeffreys is a little sh8itty psychopathic troll, but that's another story.

History

:)

I have A+ blood.

I don't know what others in my family may have.

I think many Whites in eastern Europe may have Asian DNA.

I bet people in England are less likely to have Asian DNA.

Armenians in Poland? I never heard of such a thing.
