Andrew Schally is a son of Kazimierz Schally - Austrian officer and later Polish general, chief of staff of Polish president Mościcki and Maria Łącka, Polish noble woman. Why is he here listed as Jewish? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.10.2.20 (talk) 18:00, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

It's probably due to the fact that he spent some time in Polish-Jewish community:

still, I can't find any proof of his Jewish roots. It seems that he was born in a Polish family of some Austrian ancestry, which, like many others, escaped via Romanian route from occupied country. He might have been Jewish, but I can't find any evidence of that.Lordkosmos (talk) 14:29, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Jewish roots

It's true, that he has jewish roots, altough I would need some time to proove it. If you have any questions about him, you can ask me, because I am a related to him. --TegetthoffstrasseNr43 (talk) 15:50, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

I have serious doubts about his Jewish origins. He wrote that he was living among the Jewish refugees, as most of the Polish refugees in Romania were Jewish, but in his own words he is of Polish, Austro-Hungarian, French and Swedish ancestry. Andrew V. Schally - Biographical. Also, I did not found any serious source about the possible Jewish ancestry of his parents. His father was a well-known figure in the interwar Poland, a general, diplomat and close associate of President Ignacy Mościcki. Can anyone provide a reliable source of information about his Jewish ancestry, but not other works stating simply that he was part-Jewish, like those references currently in the article. Those are simply based on the same "sources" as the article itself. The statement I've linked here is IMO the only we can relate to. Kowalmistrz (talk) 07:05, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
