Law / How to have Certificate of authenticity of Polish driving license [14]

Well if you have a polish drivers license and took the test to get it then it is authentic... and if you have one that is fake that is trying to be passed of as real you can get in a lot of trouble. But it's yours so you should be okay anywhere within the Eu...

Polonia / Polonia in Uruguay [30]

Well he was a student down there about a year ago. He said the health care systems weren't horrible but that they weren't Swedish Standard (where he was from) he also was the kind of person who if he got sick he relied on herbs and vitamins, holistic medication. He rented a house with two other people for $800 a month (split) he said electronics were very expensive though. Everything else was about the same price if not cheaper than costa rica

I had a friend who studied in Montevideo he said it was pretty inexpensive and that it was really pretty.

Australia / HELP! Australian wanted to apply for Polish Passport via ancestory [51]

I was under the assumption that you had to have been declared a citizen before you could apply for a passport... but then again I might be confused

Yea it takes a whole lot of time and patience because things have tendency to become lost. Also it is very very tricky. Check out this letter from an earlier thread

Recently, I emailed the Polish Embassy in the U.S. regarding this very question. Here is their response:

I think from your avatar you look german

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]


Oh yeah I know that Mongols and a lot of others. It just be interesting to see someones results from poland especially because it has so many different nationalities.

Also, do any of you get told you look Czech? Sometimes I do, but I'm not sure what they supposedly look like.

Hey has anyone thats polish done one of the genealogy dna test? I'm just interested what the result might have been. I mean it would be funny if it said you weren't polish at all. I have a friend who's family is so Irish everything and they did one of those and turns out they're German.

Haha they do that to me too on certain pictures. The last one I did I got four asian people and mary kate olsen as my matches.

Quite possibly.

And on second thought dpietz I could see where you might be told you look Hungarian.

You know earlier in the thread there were some people talking about how you shouldn't generalize the looks of a group of people, but every polish woman I know you can tell from the shape of the face and/or the cheek bones.

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

Yeah I think the girl behind you on the second picture looks more polish. To be honest you don't look very slavic at all.

One of the baltic republics??

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

I'm okay at it. Since I've started dating an Asian I've also become pretty good at telling Asians apart

i could spot you easily because in foward facing picture we have the same face shape and cheek bones.

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]

I don't know. I've heard a lot of people swear busha was polish. I don't know where it came from but it would be interesting to find out.

No, Nagymama is hungarian

It's sort of used as slang now too. Like anyone who wears head scarves might be called an old lady... or granny.

ба́бушка (babushka) it's russian for grandmother.
