Book Reviews of I Never Knew that About Ireland
Book Review: WALK ON LAND OF REAL HISTORY: IRELAND - ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT... IRISH/POLISH & POLISH/IRISH MARRIAGES MOST COMMON...
Summary: 5 Stars
Irish Trivia on Tap : 600 Questions to Measure Your IQ (Irish Quotient)
Another interesting relatively(pun intended)unknown fact, except to Irish and Polish is that: More Irish marry Polish, and more Polish marry the Irish more than any other peoples - outside of Poland and Ireland, of course. There is a better than 50% chance that every Irish name you hear or see, probably has some Polish uncle or connection, as is the same with any Irish name you see or hear has some Polish aunt or connection. The Polish Trivia Book and Irish Trivia..
The connection seems to stem from a Catholic people who have both been to hell and back in their histories. Both the Irish and Polish tend to not sit around and, will always, fight back when needed,i.e., both very proud Catholic cultures. Both Irish and Polish are very proud of culture and country and willing to die for their freedoms. The English to the Irish are like the Russian Communists to the Polish. Ireland and Poland has stood up to both and survived. God's Playground: A History of Poland, Vol. 2 and The Polish Way: A Thousand-Year History of the Poles and Their Culture and The Everything Irish History & Heritage Book: From Brian Boru and St. Patrick to Sinn Fein and the Troubles, All You Need to Know About the Emerald Isle (Everything Series).
Dia Duit!; (hello/pleased to meet you, in Gaelic) - Cheshch!; (hello/good-bye, in Polish).
Poles and Irish marry the Italians the 2nd most and thirdly the Germans/Austrians/Cubans.
