Heck, many of them keep saying "my grand grandparents came from Poland in 1911" or similar...er...no...they didn't...
You know, for me, I would understand what they are talking about, because my
family came from Poland.
I say Poland because thats what my father said and mother. and what their parents
said to them. they left poland for a better life, apparently other countries had to rule
Poland , thus uprisings etc.. but in spite of their having to act like they are russian
they still went home and wrote in polish and still kept their traditions alive in the privacy
of their homes.. isnt that sad.. sad that a country was taken over, god how many times???
borders changed over time, so tracing your ancestors is really a pain in the dupa
but its possible,, we are lucky that people will help ( those who understand)
those who dont understand or fail to understand that each person should be allowed
to follow his destiny whether its going to the moon or tracing your ancestors needs
to mind their own business, its not like you could even stop it from happening, so why
make such a big deal over something that doesnt concern you?
if you dont want to find out your familys history, find out who brought you to who you
are today, who braved war, disease, oceans, poverty, starvation,, who fought the
biggest obstacle known to man ( survival) and won.
dude whatever your passionate about, we wont stop you, we wont make fun, or
try to disrespect your dreams, or talk bad about your family, if you told us a interesting
story about how your family is from nobility, who am I or anyone else to shoot that
down just for the mere reason to make you look bad..
Poland is our country, its where my family originated. I was born American, but I
am 100 % according to my ethnic background.
I was a child, I was never taught about poland, now that I have interest in it , I will
learn.. maybe my quest might take me past Poland , who knows. but for now
its my heritage, so same as yours, having a ethnic background, would you say your
family is 100% or did your family marry off into Irish /german or did they stay within
their own.
its not really that difficult , whether you dont like it or not, cause it appears you have
a huge problem with it, that yes, as polish americans will always continue to identify
with poland and you alone will live your life, spend all your dying days, having major
issues with us.. oh well. toooooooooo badddddddddddddddddddd.
you cant beat us, maybe you should join us.. muwhahhahahahahahahahahah
