Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde?

Varsovian you are posting totally not scientificlly base information.
Recent years have seen the publication of a plethora of genetic reports dealing with the Polish population. As a result we now have a fair idea about the Poles' genetic structure and position in Europe. In many ways these studies have challenged traditional anthropological and historical research on Poland, which often claimed the Poles to be strongly mixed with a variety of ethnic groups that have migrated to the region over the centuries.

In a nutshell, the Poles appear to be typical northern Europeans genetically. They generally cluster with the other Indo-European speakers of the region, and show differenecs from Finno-Ugrian and southern European populations. Foreign influences on the Polish genetic pool, both from different parts of Europe, as well as from outside of Europe, appear to have been minor.

They appear to be Slavs genetically,in fact among the purest Slavs.They have also less diversity and mixes than other neighbouring folks.

thats just disturbing.

My whole family in Poland are purest slavs. They have rather blonde hair (boys get darkblond with age) and are blueeyed. Needless to mention they are superior football- and chess-players and are very inteligent, arrogant, strong and beautiful. My dad is part German and he has curly black hair. The best way to offend him is to tell him to go back to Turkey ;)

Slavs are superior football players, short memory Tomek? Czechs and Poles out in the first round.

OK, Russia (not fully Slavic) has the best chess players but hardly superior. The Hungarians can pretty much match them.

You mean more than Germans and Brazilians, yes?
How many internationl tournaments where won by Slavs? Help me out here...
:):):)


Do you have the DNA tests to prove it???

Dark blonde/light brown hair (dyed black), hazel eyes, fair skin.
100 % Polish (as far as I know)

What do you mean? Weather we got R1a1-markers on Y-chromosoms? I don't know, but my relatives live since generations north-east of Kraków.

My Polish girl has blonde hair...and grey eyes....

You know...my family lived for generations in lower Silesia...didn't count for much actually....

My Polish girl has blonde hair...and blue eyes.
(with the help of hair dye and contacts)

The borderregion is very mixed - It's a gradient composition in these areas. Sorbs and generally people around Cottbus have slavic blood in them one can say as well. Descendants of polish migrants in Rhuhr Area or northern France - its all mixed up due to higher industriall workforce demand in the past.

My granddad beeing of German nationality had a name rather connected with Hungarian region, but they apparently moved centuries ago into Silesia as well.

Yup...that's why every statement of "pureness" of especially the border region is doubtfull at least...:)
My grandparents got their "Arier Nachweis", so what...

Was ist? Ubersetzen Sie bitte.

Proof of "aryan ancestry"...or so I think.
During the third Reich every person had to give a complete, documented verification
about all ancestors (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great grandparents + all uncles and aunts) over 100 years (in some cases 150 years) back.
Without it you got no jobs, could not marry etc...well...popping up a jew or a gypsie or another "undesirable" of that time would had proofed fatal too!

This Nachweis was used to classify people after the Nuremburg laws..

Its a certification that you had only aryan ancestors, up to your grandparents for the small ("kleiner Arier Nachweis") or up to 1750 for the big one ("Großer Arier Nachweis") - It was issued during the Third Reich and was needed to get a job in some military relevant areas (big one) or any government job (small one was enough then)

100 years back for Soldiers, 150 years back for Officers...

Wow, that's a detailed document. Kind of spooky seeing it. Interesting, thanks.

Well...we Germans do nothing only half!

Ich wieB.. anyone who has been driving on the autobahn and seen BMW motorcycles at 100 + mph knows this ..

I'm telling you science, you interpreteing this as you will have same mental problems with youerself.

Brown Hair, Hazel eyes.

my hair is medium-dark not medium but not dark either i have hazelish eyes that are kinda tye-dye green & gold with brown & black streaks but my sister has almost black hair & bright blue eyes

Im 5O% pole brown hair and hazel eyes like my 100% polish father.Mother 100% slovak has ice blue eyes and blond(real)hair....Ive seen poles with dark hair but it seems usually theyll have light eyes!Seems mostly are blond but you"ll find other coloring also...

i'm Polish and i have dark blond hair and bluish green eyes, my bro has light brown hair and blue eyes, sister got dark blond hair light green eyes same as my mom, pops got black hair and baby blue eyes. All of us including my father, as kids had light blond hair, most peoples hair darkens with age. Polish people are mostly of the Nordic stock with a bit of admixture of other groups, that is why most of us got blond to medium dark brown hair with blue, green or gray eyes.

what eye color is hazel? every person says something different...
is it brown, green...mixture? what the hell is that?

Yeah, I have been told by all kinds of people that I have an Asian eye shape, including Asians themselves. I think it comes from my Eastern European heritage, but whether from Poland or Hungary I don't know.

This thread is so incredbily helpful for me. I have medium brown hair and greenish-blueish-grayish eyes. My Polish grandmother had dark hair and light eyes.

No, not ALL, but most.

me too! its probly from poland & hungary, im a bit polish on my dads side & czech on my moms side & her(her moms side) side looks really eastren european my aunt looks like the old lady version of some russian singer theyve got the same bleeched hair cut & every thing!

I am half Polish... and I have brown hair and deep olive-forest green eyes. On the Polish side of my family there are both blondes and brunettes, but EVERYONE (on the Polish side) has green eyes.....most of them have light green eyes, but me and my Polish grandfather have the deeper green eyes.
