Can Polish people discover they have Jewish heritage themselves?

Paweł Bramson notoriously discovered his Jewish heritage. He used to be a racist neo-nazi (as CNN called him), but his family history and weirdly facial features like dark hair and big nose, indicated he is Jewish.

Same story with Csanad Szegedi:

Were Adam and Eve Jewish or Catholic?

@Novichok According to the scriptures they were Jewish as they were created by the Jewish God.

Did God convert to Catholicism? I was told that God is ours and a Catholic.

How many Gods are there? Something doesn't make sense...

DNA tests don't seem very popular in PL.

That's a shame, because you can discover interesting things as well as finding distant relatives.

A lot of Poles are concerned with the DNA privacy.

Why? What do I lose if you know my DNA???

Sorry, I almost never open such links. The forum rules allow you to paste the introduction of the article - just a few sentences are enough.

DNA privacy?

It's not America and you can find out a lot about your roots.

@Novichok, they were neither. The first Jew by ethnicity was Isaac. Adam and Eve believed in a Messiah to save them after they fell, though there was no Ethnic Jew before Isaac. There was also nobody Catholic or Non Catholic in terms of how Jesus is viewed, as who the Messiah exactly was would not be revealed until Roman times.

We can't know that any of those existed, especially Adam and Eve who are simply a creation myth.

@jon357, you apparently can't. A mitochondrial Eve has been confirmed, and Jews have lived for well over 3,000 years. You can ignore the evidence that upsets even the Darwinists all that you want, nonetheless.

It's been theorised and none of the current theories point to gardens or talking snakes.

Nor was mitochondrial Eve either the first human or the only human of her time.

@jon357, there has been at least one fossil of a four-legged snake found. As I said, you can believe whatever you want. The fact that Jews blessed Poland alone (See, e.g., Genesis 12:1-3) should be enough evidence. You can thank us for, e.g., L.L. Zamenhof and the Warner Brothers, by the way (sadly not a part of my family among Israel, as I know, although they all have connections to the Podlaskie-area shtetlach).

From what period?


Hardly a 'fact' and that text certainly doesn't mention P9land.


A very beautiful place. Do you know it?

@JustCurious, I certainly had to find out that I am a Jewish Chernetski and not of Polish szlatccy for myself. The more that I found out, the more interesting that what occurred gets. One cousin even alleged that her birth certificate was mistaken when it read "Mary" and should have read "Stephanie"-her mother was a Crypto-Jewish Supronowicz (Joszefina "Weronika" Czerniecka z Supronowiczów) and apparently genuinely Catholic, and Stephanie seems to have despised "Mary". Another cousin changed her name to "Joan", and still another went into another direction and changed her name from "Nellie" (from Nekhama in Jewish-Ukrainian custom) to "Valeria Lillian".

Why would they do that? ........well, unless to escape from justice to Israel. 🤔

@jon357, look it up yourself, since you're clearly not going to believe me or drag me into a disputation. Also, the text mentions "all families", as in God "'will bless those who bless you [i.e., Abraham], and him who dishonors you [God] will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'"

By the way, I know a little of Podlaskie. I'd stop there only if I could do so on my way to make aliyah. I'd stop there only for as long as I needed to see in person where exactly my paternal grandfather's paternal family ended up, and whence his paternal grandparents and his father left (A few of his relatives, including in-law relatives, returned for visits when they could do so, and some inexplicably returned permanently. If they intended to make aliyah from there, they never could make aliyah either way-as at least one died in the Holocaust, and two died before they could really consider being refuseniks. One died a widow and too vulnerable to make aliyah alone.)

(Conversely, Great-Granddad and his parents never set foot in Poland once they left it.).

Where? There's no reliable source.


Podlasie?

It's a nice region, a very rich history and a melting pot of different cultures.


A friend recently did that.

He had to take a DNA test and join a religion.

I certainly would like to escape Poland, if this country accused me of offending religious feelings, spreading "misinformation", in reality being skeptical towards covid and stuff and if I got into situation that my reproductive health would be in threat. I don't know, if to Israel, there are many controversies.

If you have a valid reason then why not, but remember that Poland has extradition treaties with many countries.
