Yes, I would like to join the project.

Tomasz, thank you for joining Poland Project!

---

I submitted a request for access to the google group, but it's been a while and doesn't appear to have been approved yet. Just checking in on that.  Thanks

---

Hi , im interested in joining, my ancestors ( Daniel Traugott Zerbst) came from Posen Prussia, (and his wife Anna Hirschfield) came from Zlotkowo Posen Prussia,im keen to learn more about them and beyond.

---

Please add me! My great grandfather Felix Kotowski came from Zwiernyniec (could have the spelling wrong) just before WWI and his wife Mary (Bednarz) and son Stefan followed a few years later. Very stuck with researching this branch of my family tree. My grandmother Eleanor was born in the US.

I would like to join the Poland project to learn more about my Brietzke heritage.

Answer 1

Yes, Count me in!!

Answer 2

I like to join the project.

Answer 3

Yes.  I'm likely to be more of a asker of questions than an answerer, but I hope I can contribute somethiing.

BTW, I would recommend using the "Polish_Roots" tag instead of the "Poland" one.  The latter will get you lots of stuff in your feed for people with the last name "Poland".  Not what I wanted.

That has been happening to me too-thanks for the tip!

Answer 4

I can not find anything about the surname Mormile in Poland.

Comments

The name MORMILE is coming up popular in Italy at Public Profiler.

It's possible the name was originally Italian but the family may have settled in Poland for a long time.

Answer 5

I have a Josef Lindner Lindner-120

From Jaśkowice, Prószków, Opolskie, Poland  and have been down there trying to find out more

How interesting, Magnus !

And my son started study 4 years ago 100 km from the location in Wroclaw which feels odd - map

We maybe have a common Ancestry video

Comparing Kit T322601 (Maggie Nagy) and F320352 (Magnus Sälgö)

Minimum threshold size to be included in total = 500 SNPs
Mismatch-bunching Limit = 250 SNPs
Minimum segment cM to be included in total = 3.0 cM
 

Chr	Start Location	End Location	Centimorgans (cM)	SNPs
15	78,563,754	82,480,433	4.5	727

Largest segment = 4.5 cM
Total of segments > 3 cM = 4.5 cM
1 matching segments

Answer 6

I'm interested - my ancestors are from Ruda in Gmina Skrwilno, Rypin County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship

Comments

I have a family in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship as well in Chodecz which is in Włocławek County

I've collected marriage indexes for Skrwilno and nearby parishes.

Hi Toni!  I've awarded you the badge.  Welcome to the project!

Answer 11

I would LOVE to learn more about my Polish ancestry and culture!

Comments

You are all set, Chontae (-: Thanks.

Answer 12

My Ydna is R1a which is only 4.5% of males in England but is highest in Poland where 57% of males have the same ydna as myself - refer http://www.eupedia.com/europe/european_y-dna_haplogroups.shtml

Plus my daughter-in-law's great grandmother was May Elizabeth Borkowski born in Poland and my wife Ilse was evacuated from Berlin during the War to live with her grandmother in Strzgom/Striegau.  Their family were in Schlesien as far back as we can trace.

 

Comments

Malcolm, that's interesting about the Borkowski family, and the DNA connections to your in-law's family. 

---

Malcolm, if you added your in-law's family on here, you can put the Polish Roots template on their profiles. Let me know if you need help.

---

Thank You Maggie.   How do I add the template?   I have the Borkowski's shown in my wikitree - Hutton 533 and Ilse's Striegau/Strzgom ancestors in her Altenhof 5 Tree.  

I can't help wondering whether the Borkowski's were caught up in the 1863 uprising as Posen is not that far to the east of Babimost and their village of Podmokle.    The Posener Journal reported that a Borkowski was hanged in November 1864 and there is a memorial in Munich which has 'Borkowski' at the top of the Polish Names.    Perhaps the family then made their way to Germany.   They went from Hamburg to Leith in June 1874 and then left London in the Cartvale in October 1874 for Wellington, NZ.

Answer 13

Yes, I would like to join the Polish Roots Project, as it was shown that I was related to Saint Pope John Paul II on Wikitree relationships.

We got your badge on now, Dona (-:

Thank you very much for the Badge on my Polish roots. I was on the original Ancestry in the 1980's, which did my DNA back to Poland, and I didn't understand why, but now I do. The new Ancestry is not as specific as my old DNA 1980's test which was done on me in the 1980's, and went back to Poland, the new test only goes to Western Europe.

Thank you,
