Are all poles blue eyed and blonde???

or polish gyspy

Ok. Seriously, all the Poles I know except a small few have brown/black hair. Everywhere I look, I look on Polish TV, they all have brown/black hair unless dyed.
I know this is just one example but here:



I don't see any blondes?

I look at my family. some are dark some are paler but we all have dark hair. I look at the Polish communities, all dark hair and when I go to Poland. Same!

Yes, you must go to Poland. Maybe your family has other root besides polish. Link doesn't work.

I have been to Poland 3 times

I live in Poland and this strange for me what you said. And I think that you are not Pole.

Whatever you say. Sorry I am actually gypsie and the hundreds of Poles I know are gypsies too!

I live in the US and just because I have porcelain skin blonde hair and blue eyes I get alot of stupid comments about how " Wow you must be polish" I mean wth. Pathetic isnt it.

And you're not Polish ?... If not, then you should rather feel honoured to look like one ;) Hehe.

Many American girls have blue eyes and blonde hair I think

except for Native Americans. :)

Yeah and Hispanics, and Asians, and Hawaians, and Italians... ;)

America is a big country to state the obvious

im a blonde hair blue eyed person, I have polish in me :)

not all Poles are blonde/blue. My best friend is full Polish with black hair and green eyes. Me...I am a black guy from Louisiana with grey eyes.

Varsovian you are posting totally not scientificlly base information.
Recent years have seen the publication of a plethora of genetic reports dealing with the Polish population. As a result we now have a fair idea about the Poles' genetic structure and position in Europe. In many ways these studies have challenged traditional anthropological and historical research on Poland, which often claimed the Poles to be strongly mixed with a variety of ethnic groups that have migrated to the region over the centuries.

In a nutshell, the Poles appear to be typical northern Europeans genetically. They generally cluster with the other Indo-European speakers of the region, and show differenecs from Finno-Ugrian and southern European populations. Foreign influences on the Polish genetic pool, both from different parts of Europe, as well as from outside of Europe, appear to have been minor.

They appear to be Slavs genetically,in fact among the purest Slavs.They have also less diversity and mixes than other neighbouring folks.

thats just disturbing.

My whole family in Poland are purest slavs. They have rather blonde hair (boys get darkblond with age) and are blueeyed. Needless to mention they are superior football- and chess-players and are very inteligent, arrogant, strong and beautiful. My dad is part German and he has curly black hair. The best way to offend him is to tell him to go back to Turkey ;)

Slavs are superior football players, short memory Tomek? Czechs and Poles out in the first round.

OK, Russia (not fully Slavic) has the best chess players but hardly superior. The Hungarians can pretty much match them.

You mean more than Germans and Brazilians, yes?
How many internationl tournaments where won by Slavs? Help me out here...
:):):)



Do you have the DNA tests to prove it???

Dark blonde/light brown hair (dyed black), hazel eyes, fair skin.
100 % Polish (as far as I know)

What do you mean? Weather we got R1a1-markers on Y-chromosoms? I don't know, but my relatives live since generations north-east of Kraków.

My Polish girl has blonde hair...and grey eyes....

You know...my family lived for generations in lower Silesia...didn't count for much actually....

My Polish girl has blonde hair...and blue eyes.
(with the help of hair dye and contacts)

The borderregion is very mixed - It's a gradient composition in these areas. Sorbs and generally people around Cottbus have slavic blood in them one can say as well. Descendants of polish migrants in Rhuhr Area or northern France - its all mixed up due to higher industriall workforce demand in the past.

My granddad beeing of German nationality had a name rather connected with Hungarian region, but they apparently moved centuries ago into Silesia as well.

Yup...that's why every statement of "pureness" of especially the border region is doubtfull at least...:)
My grandparents got their "Arier Nachweis", so what...

Was ist? Ubersetzen Sie bitte.

Proof of "aryan ancestry"...or so I think.
During the third Reich every person had to give a complete, documented verification
about all ancestors (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great grandparents + all uncles and aunts) over 100 years (in some cases 150 years) back.
Without it you got no jobs, could not marry etc...well...popping up a jew or a gypsie or another "undesirable" of that time would had proofed fatal too!

This Nachweis was used to classify people after the Nuremburg laws..

Its a certification that you had only aryan ancestors, up to your grandparents for the small ("kleiner Arier Nachweis") or up to 1750 for the big one ("Großer Arier Nachweis") - It was issued during the Third Reich and was needed to get a job in some military relevant areas (big one) or any government job (small one was enough then)
