Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

I am Polish and mixed with a lot of other nationalities but have been repeatedly told I have Eastern European look. My grandfather was 100% Polish and I would like to know if I look Polish? I have heard different things. My great-great grandfather was from Ostroleka, Poland.

HAHA!

The reason I asked is because I do not really know a lot of Polish people (how sad, I know.) And people would always tell me... "you have a different look."

My cousin still insists I look Russian. The bridge of my nose is from my Polish grandfather but the tip is from my German mother.

I'm just glad my Polish characteristics stands out more than the rest of my nationalities.

I'll take that as a compliment. =) After telling my cousin about this site, she wants me to put up her picture. Nobody has ever told her what she looks like except for one woman telling her she looks Polish but should I go to "post your picture" thread or post it up here? haha.

Exactly, honesty isn't always the best policy but it works sometimes.

I really appreciate your honesty. =)

Plus the fact i've never spoken to 'Alycia' before so the nose comment might not get the conversation off to a good start!!!! lol

I can understand that. I just wish those people would start embracing who they are. As for me, I love my Polish nose, haha.

Exactly.The nose has two totatlly distinctive parts.It is not a slavic nose and this mainly makes you appear mixed.
You have slavic eyes and cheeks but your mouth is not slavic at all.

I'm actually Polish, Irish, English, German and Dutch.

the straight on shot you don't look Polish but the profile shot looks more Polish if you ask me.

I actually agree with you. We both have the same bridge.. I think. *looks back & forth to our picture.*
