Yes, the natives did travel from Asia to the Americas as we all know but the explorers were talking about discovering the land that no one else but the natives had found or inhabited. They probably figured the natives had always been there.
"Discovered America", this is always the language used. Discovered for who?
Surely the first people to discover America were the natives. Perhaps centuries before the Vikings, the Mayan and Aztec might have travelled from their lands and "Discovered" America.

This is just a guess but Władysławic would probably be translated to Ladeslavo because slavic is eslavo in Spanish. From there it might become Ladeslaves for "the son of" but I doubt those names exist. Ladislao is probably correct for both names or maybe even Ladislaos to make it plural.
My Spanish aint' that good so could anyone tell me if it would be Ladislarez (patterned on Spanish patroynmics such as Gonzalez, Perez, Sanchez, Fenandez et al), or does that hold only for indigenously Spanish Christian names? Władysław is Ladislao in Spanish.

Isn't there a calendar written in stone in a cave somewhere in the U.S. that proves that the Irish or "Celts" were there long before the others?
I always thought Amerigo Vespucci is credited for having discovered America and that's where the name America came from.
And the Chinese are also thought to have discovered America.
The Irish got there long before other Europeans. Saint Brendan

Genealogy / DNA Testing in Poland. Is it popular? [81]
The government has a program called CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) and you can download the software and type your autosomal DNA markers into it and see if you have any matches. They give you the closest matches to your DNA markers but it's a list of countries in general, like just "Poland". It's free but the last time I checked you needed Excel software.
That was very big in the U.S. They had the documentary on TV and I seem to remember them offering free tests for men to add them to the project.

They have a slew of test results from people who have either purchased the test or from prisoners. A lot of those companies use DNA from the prison system DNA bank but they also go to countries and get DNA from volunteers, like Sibera for example.
We've found documents online of people who have practically all the same markers as my Dad except for one difference and they live in the surrounding area of his birthplace but further out. That's how you can tell someone is not as closely related but still from the same tribe.

Not just his haplogroup but his particular set of markers. All of his exact matches are from his hometown, meaning thousands, maybe millions of people in the world have been tested and his exact matches are only from that same location.
I am not sure I understand this, you are saying that your father's haplogroup matches that of people living only in (for example) Poznan and only those that have been tested there or have relations from there?

I'm not as familiar with Y-DNA as with mtDNA but mtDNA seems more recent and you can have a variety of markers and still belong to the same haplogroup.
My dad took the mtDNA test years ago and his haplogroup is thousands of years old and he has about twenty exact matches so far. We all exchanged information and they were all born in the same place as my dad or their parents or grandparents were. I mean within just miles of each other.
Then I took an autosomal test from a different company and I got matched to the same exact place where my dad was born.
It just seems weird to think that I'm not related to any of those people because the haplogroup is so old and that the location has nothing to do with my own ancestry on his maternal line.
Many places overseas have American Indian DNA including England and Spain, among others. I've seen stories about people in England who are stunned to find out that they Native American DNA. Native Americans were taken overseas after the Europeans encountered them and some escaped. But also, the Siberians or Mongolians who have the same DNA traveled that way, as opposed to the Americas.
That's why I think it's voodoo science (for now) to charge people money for such a general indicator.

On the chart, there's a greenish color in Africa and a purple color for Native Americans. When an African American or a Native American has the test done and gets those haplogroups as their results, does that mean they are related to African and Native American from thousands of years ago but they are not related to any other Africans or Native Americans today?
by the way, I have to go now....more later.

But fathers and sons, brothers, and cousins still carry those genes today and produce matches. Not all matches are that far back.
It's like saying that my dad and brother are related 18,000 years ago because they have the same DNA.
With an 18000 year old gene, it is safe to say you have relatives everywhere.

But they don't claim that they can tell you that you're Polish or any other ancestry. At least, I've never seen that, but they do find your DNA matches to other people throughout the world. If your DNA markers match a large group of people in Poland it's up to you to decide what to think of that. But you obviously have some relatives over there.
But despite that, it seems that the sites that can tell for money that you're "Polish" from your genes are just a scam.

DNA tests are good when someone doesn't know their paper records. I've known people who don't know who their fathers are or maybe anything about their family's history. They take the tests because they want to know what their ancestry might be.

You can go on a holiday with only $179? No wonder people think Americans are rich. That's how much we spend just going to the supermarket. hehe.
By the way, I only paid $99 because I ordered the test some time ago. The prices keep rising. It's better to take advantage of the current price than to wait until it doubles and then you can't afford it.

The 46 marker test on ancestry.com is $179. It isn't too over the top in my opinion as far as cost goes.

I've been tested and so have my parents and the results were very accurate. Females can only find their haplogroup on their mother's maternal line and our haplogroup on that side isn't Polish but our autosomal DNA had matches in Poland, from the northwestern part of the country. From what I understand, a lot of those DNA results are from prisoners. eek.

Wow. They're putting up a huge statue of Jesus in Poland? I'm amazed because they would never allow that in the U.S. Poland seems to have a lot more freedom of "religious" expression. There was a much smaller cross in the desert of California to honor the memory of fallen soldiers. It was isolated and hardly visible and on private land but an organization fought in court to have it removed. When they were denied, someone cut it down.

That's true for many cultures, where the children are taught that family is important, even the men. I had a boyfriend whose mother was a nightmare, so controlling. I left because I couldn't take it anymore, but I never would have asked him to leave his own mother for me. Like the greeting cards say, sometimes love means letting go. hehe.
And don't mothers play even more of a role in their daughters lives in the Polish culture?

A parent is not just people, though. It's not that easy for a woman to throw her mother away to be with a man. Of course she's not going to love you more than her mother. It's better to find someone whose parents like you.

deeply_inluv, I hate to tell you this, but it's very common in the U.S. for a 45 year old man who has been married to the same woman for awhile to say these things. The truth is that they're just bored and they want a new woman. They act like a victim to convince the other woman (you) that it's okay. A man will usually look for someone who lives in his city. If he looked for someone overseas it's because it's easier to hide you that way.
His story about having to stay with his wife even though they're divorced can't be true. The government gives money to women who need it so that they can pay their bills and buy food, especially if they have children. That's why women come here to have kids.
If he had really told his wife about you, she would have left him and maybe taken him to court and sued him because that's what women do in the U.S.
I don't know your situation but it sounds like he is using you. The things he says are fake and manipulation and the reason you believe him is because he's very good at it.

Yes polish guy values so much with their family but too bad his ex-wife only concentrate her life with herself and the kids and just want him to work and to support for the family. she forgot that husband needs her attention, respect, care and love from the wife.
