Answer 4

The Poles (Polish: ) are a people inhabiting the country of Poland (in Central Europe) and a number of other states in the world, where they form a significant Polish diaspora.

There is no commonly accepted definition of the Poles. According to the preamble of the Constitution of Poland, the Polish Nation consists of all citizens of Poland. However, like in most European countries, many people limit the group to native speakers of the Polish language, people that share certain views or traditions, or people who share a common ethnic background originating from Poland. As to the ethnicity, the name of the nation comes from a western Slavic ethnic group primarily associated with Poland and the Polish language. Poles belong to the Lechitic subgroup of these ethnic people. The Polans were one of the most influential tribes of the Greater Poland, inhabitated the areas around the towns of Giecz, Gniezno and Poznań, and managed to unite most of other Slavic clans in the area under the rule of what became the Piast Dynasty, thus giving birth to a new state. The Polish name for a Pole is (male) and (female).
Statistics
Poles are the second largest Slavic nation after Russians in terms of population number, just ahead of Ukrainians, and the largest predominantly Roman Catholic one. Estimates vary greatly, though most data suggests a total number around 50 million. There are 38 million Poles in Poland alone as well as autochthonous Polish minorities in the surrounding countries such as Germany, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus. There are some smaller minorities in Moldava, Latvia etc. Note that there was/is also a Polish minority in the Soviet Union which included autochthonous Poles as well as some forcefully transferred Poles. The total number of Poles in the former Soviet Union is estimated at 3 million.

The official census results (including a few educated estimates) are listed on the right, as well as Polish government estimates.

The term Polonia is nowadays usually used in Poland to refer to people of Polish origin who live outside Polish borders, officially estimated at around 10 to 12 million. There is a notable Polish diaspora in the United States, Canada, and Brazil (see Polish Brazilian). In the United States a significant number of Polish immigrants settled in Chicago, Detroit, New York and Buffalo. In recent years, since joining the European Union, many Polish people have emigrated to countries such as Ireland, where an estimated 116,206 Polish people have entered the labour market.
Medieval Polish tribes
The following is the list of tribes that constituted the lands of Poland in early Middle Ages, at the beginning of Polish state. Some of them remain today a separate ethnicity while others have melted into the culture of Poland. I hope this will help.

Answer 5

Polish children?

Answer 6

Polanie (Polans) which in polish language means "land people" (refers more to the fields). btw did you know that "polak" in polish means polish man. It's been used to offend Poles but there's nothing really offending about that.
There's much more to know about Poland than polish sausage and polish jokes- believe me!

Answer 7

Not sure you can consider me an ancestor yet..
Part polish here.. Mom fell in love with someone who was of mixed heritage . I fell in love with someone of a greater mix, and not of my family's religion.. Back then, this was very frowned upon.

Answer 8

Ummm...other Polish people?
