    yes, they can have another heritage
    see this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szlachta – read about Polish szlachta, many people in Galicia have ‘blue blood’, and this is very possible that she came from Szlachta because many went to the South America before war like owners of my city, the Tarnowscy family live in South America
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorals – read about Polish górals, they have very characteristic surnames
