Noone knows. I guess it is 10%.

Anyhow, he was an ethnic German but I still identify as Slavic since most of my family is Polish and Czech. My Slavo-Germanic surname is "Bernatowicz", comes from German name "Bernhard."

[Rethel]

"Bernatowicz", comes from German name "Bernhard."

Eeee... Bernat could be anyone. Even a Pole. Just a name.

Is it significant or just distant and minor ancestry? Do they identify more with German/Germanic or Polish/Slavic culture?

Yes but they weren't Poles, so there is that. "Bernhard" name is Germanic anyhow, so irregardless whether they were Germanic, Slavic, both or neither; they had a Slavo-Germanic surname and their ancestor lived amongst Germanics.
