Are you curious about your Family History and want to know more, but just don't have the ability or time to do the research yourself? Would you like to discover what interesting things might have happened to your Ancestors?

How much do you know about your ancestors? Were they pioneers, entrepreneurs, immigrants looking for a better life or just for religious freedom? What challenges did they face, what was their day-to-day life like? Do you know what motivated them to come to America?

Do you look like your ancestors? What characteristics or traits have you inherited from your ancestors? And what can they teach you about yourself and about your own life patterns and choices?


These are some of the questions that encourage us to gain more knowledge about our ancestors. Are there additional questions that have motivated you to explore your family history?

If you are curious about who your ancestors are and what places and events shaped their lives, then you have come to the right place. Genealogy research can help you learn about your family's unique history, traditions, origins, and how those things led to your life.

Allow The Genealogy Assistant be your guide on a voyage into the past. The Genealogy Assistant offers a number of genealogical and historical research services that can be tailored to meet your needs to can help you in the search for your ancestors. For us the reward is in the journey, whether we are researching your ancestors or our own.

Blogging in Poland

DSC00064I am leaving today for one month visit to Poland & Czech Republic to see family and take in the sites. I have tried to Blog before with poor results, but despite that I will again make an attempt to allow you to follow my adventures. Posts may be short with a photo or two, but it may be interesting non-the-less. I have discovered that it is difficult to Blog while traveling (unless that is your job) for two main reasons, time and Internet access. When you have a busy schedule it is almost impossible to find the time to Blog.

If you are not already subscribed to my Blog through a reader service, to keep up on updates you can subscribe to my entire blog or if you are just interested in keeping up with my travels you can subscribe to the category of "Poland Traditions & Interest". Here is how you do that...... Click on the category you are interested in following from the Blog Categories listed in the column on the right. You will see all posts in that category. You then click on "Subscribe to this category" written below the category title. If you would like to subscribe to all of my blog posts you can select "Subscribe to Blog" This way you will receive a notification via email that a new post is ready for you to read. Just follow the form to fill in the information needed.

I will leave this evening and be met at the Krakow airport by my cousin Łukasz and his family. It will be an interesting visit as the weather is forecast to be unusually hot. The temps may get to over 100 F, which will be breaking records in Poland. We may have to make changes from the original plans to work around the oppressive heat.
