Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [35]
Merged:
Hi! I know quite a bit about my family history but my great grandfather is shrouded in mystery. He disappeared during WWII and my grandmother didn't remember much about him at all, sadly.
He was Polish (As was his wife, my great grandmother) however, it's believed he possibly also had direct origins elsewhere in central/Eastern Europe and potentially could have had ethnic Lemko blood.
I'm normally good with deciphering nationalities based on appearance but I need opinions on this. Do you believe he looks like an ethnic Pole or a mixture of something else? Any Lemko features?
