This is a picture of my grandmother’s family from the old country (I live in the United States). They emigrated around 1912, but we’re not sure where they are from anymore. My grandmother says she is Czech/Slovak and they lived in Prague. However, I recently had an ancestry DNA test and it said the strongest area of my ancestry is in South-eastern Poland. I also asked a Polish friend to identify the traditional clothing and she said it was from Lublin. However, some others say it isn’t Polish. Could you help identify them to see if they’re from Slovakia?
The image is pretty blurry but it does look simillar to a traditional clothing my friend from Martin has, though all of theese clothes from the Tatras (both polish and slovak) look almost alike
Skirt on left looks like typical “Zemplín” skirt from east Slovakia but I think it might be somewhere around Tatras looking at others
On a side note, I notice so many Slovak American pictures are filled with blond people, but if you go to Slovakia, almost everyone has dark brown hair. It’s a weird little thing I keep noticing and can’t find an answer to.
Hmmmmmm… Yep… looks like Slovakia
I’d say Slovakia but I might be wrong. ^/s
This is some cursed stuff… Burn that photo and bury ashes somewhere deep
they are most likely from Europe
I’ll never understand you people who don’t know your origin… just what the hell 😐
So I send this to my friend who’s father is an expert for a slovak folklor and he confirmed this is a kroj (historical dress) from southern Zemplin, more specificaly seems like area under the city of Michalovce
Looks like area around High Tatra. By this photo you will never find exact location from where they came.
