I'm 1/4 Polish and 1/4 German. Possibly even 1/2 of both...My great grandpa's parents put him on a boat to New York when he was 13 to avoid the war. He worked for a few years in construction then heard about the booming logging industry in Washington state and settled in Aberdeen where he later met my great grandma. They married went on to have 8 children, the youngest being my grandma.
I don't know anything about my great grand parents on my dads side other than they were german and that their son, my grandpa, commited suicide :/ One of his two sons, my uncle was a colnel in the US airforce and flew in the Korean War. I remember him telling me stories about his plane being shot down in the Korean sea and sharks attacking his crew before they were saved. Only a few survived.
