In a small border village in southern Poland, authorities are offering to reward the first family to have a son after nine years of all girls.
No one knows why, but couples in the village of Miejsce Odrzańskie (near the Czech border) very rarely have a son. Most of the 300 residents living here are women and the elderly say they have not seen a baby boy in a long time.
Recently, village chief Rajmund Frischko confirmed to the press that, after checking the records and reviewing the registered birth certificates, he realized there was an unusually rare birth of a male child here . He has also pledged to reward the first couple to have a son.

Mr. Frishko said: “We have carefully reviewed the records and birth certificates and confirmed that what the village elders say is true. Girls are constantly being born while boys are almost always rare. This is a local dilemma.”
Tomasz Golasz, head of the local volunteer fire brigade, which is staffed mostly by women, said: “He himself wanted to have a son, but considering the history of the village, the chances of success are low. is very small.
The father of two girls said: “This has been going on for decades. I came to this village, took a local girl as my wife and we have two daughters. I wanted a son but maybe not realistic. My neighbors have also tried but they also only have two daughters. I don’t think women here give birth to boys.”
News of the unusual gender imbalance in the village of Miejsce Odrzańskie spread throughout the country and caught the attention of Professor Rafał Płoski, Head of the Department of Medical Genetics at the Medical University of Warsaw. He believes that it is necessary to conduct in-depth research based on historical documents and examine birth statistics, to find the answer to this mystery.
Professor Płoski said: “We should check if the girl’s parents are related, even very distant. The next step is to do an accurate interview with the parents. parents and children, check the living conditions. From there, we can track down the clues to the incident.”
While waiting for answers from scientists, village chief Rajmund Frischko, who also has two daughters, said he would reward the parents of the first boy born in Miejsce Odrzańskie in nearly a decade. The whole village gave birth to girls.
Although he did not reveal what the specific reward was, he assured interested couples that it would be an extremely attractive and worthwhile gift.
