Ancestral Eligibility
Hi all, I was recommended to join this by someone in a shared group on Facebook for pre-1920 partition information. Maybe there is hope for me, maybe there is not - that's why I'm here. I fear I am one generation too distant for citizenship confirmation but I'll let the experts decide please. At the time (2005), Karta Polaka was not available to obtain. I grew up, life happened, and now I am hoping to find my ties back to Poland so I can continue to teach my children (my teenager is currently making his family tree and took his DNA testing). My family passed down the language and cultural traditions all the way to my father but my father did not learn the language fully to pass onto me sadly so I am learning the language on my own with a tutor. Dziękuję
