I too feel for those countries and their people. Mother said her father was Polish. My ggrandfather was born in Poland near the Ukraine border. Polish was spoken in the home when he arrived here, and when my sis and I had our DNA done it came out, in part, Eastern European: Poland/Russia. Guess Mom was right. The borders changed so much. You are lucky you know the language.

I came back after reading the last part to see what I missed. I hope you will continue. The things going on there seem so far away from where I live.

Good afternoon
Oh, wow! I love hearing these types of accounts and discoveries. I have a very similar story. I am so grateful for ancestry.com's DNA test. Not only did I find out that the father I never knew was not an only child, I learned that I am not German or Native American. I am English, Irish, and Scottish. Sadly, I reached out to the lady that is my dad's sister, but she is older and the test results upset her as she always believed that her father was really her father even though the tests at ancestry showed that my grandfather is her father.
