Is he part-Jewish?

Is he part-Jewish?

I am not sure. He reminds you Ashkenazy?

[Anglojew]

I am not sure. He reminds you Ashkenazy?

His lips definitely. There's a Babica in Poland I think too. Might have been a shtetl?

[Mikula]

Lastname Babica apperad among Czech (catholic) farmers in eastern Moravia (Beskydy Mts.) since 1650s, at least.
But mother is always certain, not the father ;)

something "Eastern" about him. Tatar blood maybe?

Interesting idea!
This part of Moravia what I am talking about was plundered by Tatar invaders in 1660s.

He looks rather Gypsy in the second photo.

Where can he pass? Balkan countries?

Alpine/Pontid + not possible to exclude Gypsy element. 0% Jewish in looks.
