Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]
Sure
You are compressing here a great distances on land, different people and different periods of times - that is mush -mash which doesn't makes sense.

Secondly Golden Horde or Tatars never ruled Poland or in Poland or over parts of Poland.
Thirdly maybe it is overlooked in books and historiography written in the English language.
Some do most do not!
Poles for a good three hundred years of their history has been a melting pot of ethnicity ranging from Scots to Armenian, so you could put there one Tatar or two.
Generally speaking however their impact on the genotype of the general population was not that great.

Yes, I would say a considerable number of Poles, and Eastern Europeans in general, have some Mongol and Tatar extraction.
