Our Offer
We provide professional genealogical research assistance in Poland. We can take on small individual projects (like single record research) as well as large projects (like complete family trees of four grandparents who were from different parts of the country, since the end of the 18th century to the present day).
We can also provide more specific local research in your ancestral town or village, supported with local interviews and digital photo documentation. As one of us is an ethnologist, we have the best skills to do so.
Moreover, we plan and organize ancestral tours in Poland both for you and your family as well as for larger groups of landsmen whose roots are in a specific Polish town. The tours are tailor-made to meet all of your expectations regarding comfort, price, and conditions. We can also help you with visiting the local authorities, registry offices, archives, museums, and schools if needed.
We have more than fifteen years’ experience in academic genealogy as well as working with individual clients. We have also been active as volunteers for JRI-Poland projects. See also our references.

ORDER NOWWho We Are
We are a Polish-Dutch researching team. For both of us Jewish genealogy has become a passion. Since more than 10 years we have been solving riddles, i.e. deciphering handwritten Polish, German and Old-Russian vital records, which has been only possible thanks to our knowledge of these languages. We perform professional genealogical research of your families back to its roots in the 18th century, taking you so on an exceptional journey to the past.

Being genealogical researchers for over 10 years has given us the unique opportunity to cooperate both with genealogists all over the world as well as with filmmakers, writers, and scientific institutions. From these contacts and meetings we have gained a great deal. We endeavor to use this knowledge and experience in our work. We therefore allow those who have trusted us and of whom we have learned a lot to speak.
