Genealogy / I'm pure Polish and have some red hair on my beard [23]

It's probably Scottish ancestry, I have some too in that case ;) As a full redhead that is (Jk, I'm making fun of those who believe Polish red heads are of Scottish ancestry). My mother is half Silesian and half Polish and my father is Belarusian, not really pure Polish but whatever floats your boat :/

Volhynian Czechs - Were did they come from?

Hello, my maternal grandmother is partially Czech (from Wołyń), and I've been wondering where her Czech ancestors came from. So far, I understand that most came from Moravia and Cieszyn Silesia? The "Czech" surname in our family is "Tuhy" which means solid, but the ancestor spelled it "Tugy", as a Cieszyn Silesian would. Anyway, do you know where the Czech settlers of Galicia came from? I know why already.

Bump: Could I get a response?

Genealogy / Possibility and proof of being Tatar [15]

Merged: Is she Lipka Tatar?

She came from present-day North-West Belarus on the border with Lithuania, she was very rich and only spoke Russian. She also appears to look Tatar (to me). Her surname was "Misiewicz" which comes from the Polish noun for a bear, however, it is a fairly rare surname in both Belarus and Poland and the only listed people with it are ethnic Tatars from that region.

I've included a picture of her. Any help would be great. Thanks

That's my maternal great grandfather's surname, he was supposedly Czech. So I got told that it could be a misspelling of the surname 'Tuha' which is still rare, but 'Tuha' is a female surname. Could anybody help me in the origins of the name? Thanks

UK, Ireland / Poles revealed to harbour deep hatred against Anglos when they speak in their own language [62]


Right.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

"i have 2 polish familys living next to me and several others from romania latvia and lithuania and bulgaria, the romanian woman talks, the polish are ignorant one woman thinks she is 'it ' better than everybody the other one is ok she does say hello but thats it,they dont socialise or do small talk, i wish they would **** off, when they were moving in it was obvious the 2 polish women were not intrested in talking to me or my wife, how hard is it to say 'hello how are you' even when i asked one, when they moved here do you like this town she just looks and gave a stupid look@ the sausage they are, they can go back to poland they are in the EU ! horrible people ignorant and they are not the hard workers people think they are they are not intrested in socialising very unfriendly people, oh and they dont have the best looking women in the world but as my mrs said the men are ugly and odd looking, and they seem to have 8 people living in a house meant for 6,"

I combined the two, as judging by the horrible grammar: this imbecile used two nicknames.

Are you this dumb or are you just a troll? Should've seen the hundreds of anti-Polish snobby comments on the British 'news' site. These dumb sl**s don't represent 40+ million people but the daft twats in the comments think other wise, about the 'centuries of murdering Jews', have you got any sources?

The Express: express.co.uk/news/uk/721304/Polish-sisters-Aleksandra-Mut-Angelika-Mut-racial-attack-british-women-Manchester

Notice the word 'racist' in every single title/url. But when 2 Polish men are killed, it's a plain-old 'hate crime', it's obviously only racist when Poles attack someone. Notice how all those articles point out how the sisters have been spared jail (which I think is wrong) but they don't do the same about the Polish men murdered for no reason by British teens, who have been spared jail-time. It works both ways mate.

In comparison, look at these:

Also, notice how all the titles have the term 'hate-crime' in quotation marks, but when they did the articles on the 'racist' attacks by the Polish girls (c***s), there are no quotation marks. Strange isn't it?

Exactly. I have no idea what this idiot demand from us, maybe he's a little behind on history and still thinks that Western Ukraine belongs to Poland?

If so, Austro-Hungary controlled the smallest area of Poland, in comparison to Imperial Germany and Tsarist Russia. In any case, he's without a doubt a troll.

Genealogy / Julianna Schlagowski and Friedrich Kornatz, Prangenau - Genealogy help [14]

If you mean if the name could have been spelt in 3 different ways then that is likely. But if you mean if the 3 names could be your relatives (?), then that is highly unlikely.

My own surname was spelt Bernatovich, Bernatovic and Bernatowicz. Currently spelled as the last one, doesn't mean that Bernatovichs or Bernatovics are my relatives.

Niet, I'm just asking why letters which don't exist in East Slavic languages are present on the letter.

But the letters such as Ë and Ú don't exist in Belarusian or Ukrainian or even Russian and they appear on the letter.

Language / What language is this? Kashubian or Silesian? [37]

Yes but the way it's spelt is Belarusian as Polish is Bernatowicz and Ukrainian is Bernatovych. Besides, if the family is Belarusian, doesn't that make the last name Belarusian.
