Genealogy / Jambrich/Yambrick surname? [34]

So my uncle is really good at tracing our family tree. But I dont' see him very often. He told me though, that our family name back in the day, in Poland used to be 'Jambrich', but when my ancestors immigrated here it was changed to 'Yambrick' to avoid confusion.

Any other Yambrick/Jambrich's? Does that even SOUND Polish?

Thank you, Bookratt! We are Slovak and Austrian too, but we identify most with the Polish ancestry. I think my great-great grandmother's name was Leona. But it could be something different.

Jambo? Cool. My dad's name is Jim and sometimes we call him Jimbo.

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

I don't know if I look very Polish. My dad's side of the family is nearly 100% Polish, and they all have lighter hair. My natural hair color is like a medium-brown color, but I dyed it darker for whatever reason.

So, what nationality do I look?

Haha, wow, Indian? Italian? Crazy! I'm not even kind of Indian or Italian in any way! :]

Here's an old picture of me with my natural hair color, from last year I think.

Shewolf, my eyebrows are naturally that dark. :]

Jambi, that's very interesting. Was your great grandmother Transylvanian born? Or was she from Poland?

I believe it was my great grandmother also, who was straight from Poland.

Genealogy / Polish Gypsy Roots & Roma ancestors in their families [205]

...I think I might be a Polish Gypsy, then! D:

Aside from the darker skin (which, my skin IS darker than my dad's, who is the Polish parent), I have an oval face, dark eyes and dark hair.

Is possible, yah?

Thank you so much!

I am the granddaughter of Joseph Yambrick, who was married to Janet Stephens. That is her maiden name. My father is James Yambrick, and my mother is Wendy Howard if you know any of them. I saw my aunt, Kim yesterday and she said that I am related to you.. I think you are my great-cousin or something like that. Anyway, Janet and Joseph's kids are all my aunts and uncles. I was born in Flint, and now I live in Webberville.

Thanks again for all the information!

Haha, we should all have a reunion or something out at Hick's Lake. I hope I'll be able to go there not this weekend, but next weekend. I miss it up there. :[
