[Rethel]

So they are mostly German and just culturally Polish?

Sad.

[Polak]

They lived in the Russian Empire, then the 2nd Polish Republic and finally the USSR. They always said that they were originally German, they were Catholic but spoke Russian as mother-tongue (instead of Polish or German), they were also "mobbed" by local populations (whether they were Poles or Russians). You tell m what they were, they certainly weren't Poles.

Sad.

Why?
Is it sad, that american English does not speak with received
pronounciantion neither parade with the portraits of the Queen?

Some strange recent mishmash.
And I doubt if the surname originated just recently among rusgermans.

[Polak]

No. They're PolGermans. That's about it. Lol

If the guy in this case is a fully English American, which is very rare today, then yes.

What is the percentage of Poles with German/Germanic ancestry?

What do you mean by ancestry? Some admixture or Y-DNA?

Because Rethel of course means Y-DNA haplo / patrilineage.
