Maybe this is how you understood your father. Your expalanation is at least a bit confusing. Is you father saying that your grandfather is Wloch, because of him being dark and hairy or was he from real Vlach community? I never heard any polish person referring to a brunet, even a hairy one, as wloch in my life. And I'm polish.My first language Polish I know what means Wloch, it refers to modern Italians but is loosely thrown term that also refers to Wlosi root word of HAIR in my language, which we use to refer any dark haired people as slang. When I discussed with my father regarding his grandfather my greatgrandfather who lived in Bukovina and identified as Bulgarian, my father referred to him being Wloch which means "dark and hairy".
Maybe he was saining, Wlochaty and not Wloch?
Can you refer us to polish historical source.Also White Croats defended southern border of Poland for centuries and never moved from this place despite bloodshed.
