Genealogy / I am 1/8 Polish on my mother's side - not Polish enough / Lithuania and Zmudz in Poland's ancestry [110]

I'm 50% Polish and 49,9% Germanic.

On my mother's side they're from Podlasie and Wolyn, the whole of my maternal grandfather's side consists of lesser nobility, and also some on my mat. grandmother's.

On my father's side I'm primarily Danish, but mixed with German and South Swedish blood.
The last part is because I'm descending from some European royal houses and higher nobility, but that's very far back in time, during the Middle Ages.

My maternal grandmother's family suffered all from the cruelty of the damn UPA in Wolyn. Some were bestially murdered, but my grandmother's parents and all of their children managed to get away, even though it was close sometimes.

I know at least about one story, that my greatgrandfather and his children ran and hided in the nearby woods, when the UPA came savaging their village.

But my greatgrandmother was struck by a condition of shock, so she just stood there in the kitchen and couldn't move.
Luckily the Ukrainians just passed and avoided going into my family's home, but it was damn close..

Ukrainians should stay out of my sight and I've very little, if anything, good to say about Ruthenians..

And yes, I have been doing genealogy for several years, so I am pretty much sure about the information I mentioned in the beginning.

Hello.
Exactly what kind of information is it you are looking for about your family?
And what have you tried to find, so far? Local archives? Polish relatives?
And how much do you know about your family, like with exact dates, place names and so on?

Polonia / Polish workers in Denmark [41]

It seems like there're more people from Denmark than I thought.

Stolte hilsener til jer begge.

History / Polish resistance group under II World war in Denmark [18]

Well, Matyjasz, I've been brought up in Denmark, but I've never heard about Polish restistance groups in Denmark either.

The multi-culturalistic thought is everywhere in Denmark, mainly around the media/the press, politics and especially in the schools.

Therefore, you almost never learn about Danish patriotism in school nowadays, sadly.

Matyjasz, you can also find information through that article's references.
Look also at the BOPA and Holger Danske-articles.

Polonia / Polish workers in Denmark [41]

Mazurek, hjertelig 'welcome' til forummet!
Det er hyggeligt nok, selvom en del af brugerne desværre er lige lovlig venstraradikale for min smag..

My story is a bit like yours.. My father doesn't see any point in me learning Polish, and earlier on, when my mother tried to teach some few things, then I just rejected to answer her.

As a child it was so easy just to do nothing.. And my mother just didn't do anything about it, so I've never learned much, until now, recently.

Maybe we can support eachother, in learning Polish.

How old are you, by the way?

I'm going to Szczecin the 14th to the 19th of this October, with the travelling agency at stettin.dk - those people who also arrange the so-called 'dentist-busses'.

Pozdrawiam!
