Poles from Transnistria

[Viridian1]

Looking exotic, some aren't even sure about the roots but still speaking Polish ....

[Ülev]

Transnistria is Polish

Had to Google Transistria to see where it is lmao. I am not familiar with this group but they certainly don't look exotic, at least not in Non-Euro way. Since they live near Black Sea, it's normal they are more Medish influenced than Poles from Poland.

Now it is corrected

I meant they look kind of exotic compared with Poles in Poland.

Transnistria is Polish

Yep!

We will go back there soon.

Northern and central parts were Polish till 1793.

It's all yours. I'd rather we bordered Poland than Russia in disguise with a mustache.
By the way, there are way more Poles in Moldova proper (between Prut and Dniester) than Transnistria.
Ours are just more assimilated into local ethnicities.

What's more interesting is that I have 53 samples from a village in Transnistria that was historically populated by Poles. Now they identify as Ukrainians, but compared to Ukrainians in Moldova and Ukraine, they score 0% E.

They are from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C8%99cov

"One of the oldest villages of Transnistria, it is known for having historically possessing a significant Polish population. From the 15th century, all of northern Transnistria was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania,^{[2][3][4][5][6]} and later to the Polish Crown in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569–1793) which encouraged the migration of peasants into the territory from neighboring populated areas (from north and from west)."
