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.

Escaping the Heat

8Cooling OffToday's post may seem out of place, but since it was going to be one of the hottest days, there was no plan for any touring
today. In the heat it would not be smart to exert oneself too much. Today it will get up to 96-97 degrees here with no change in the 10 day forecast.

It had been decided that we would spend the day at Jan & Maria's camp in Żarki to relax. Lukasz, Ania & their one year old Kuba were there along with myself and his parents. I was able to spend some time getting to know my new cousin Jakub (Kuba), although I am called Uncle. The swimming pool helped keep us all cool.

Instead of having someone cook for me, I decided to treat everyone to some of my grilling specialties. I made some baked potatoes, pork chops and onion bombs for everyone. They all enjoyed something different & the onion bombs were a big hit. They were begging for the recipe. One ingredient that you can DSC00881Pork Chops and Baked Potatoesnot find here is BBQ sauce, so I will have to make up a special box when I return home to send them. Maybe Santa Clause will make a delivery for me at Christmas. It may not be Polish food, but I have included a food photo anyway!

Although it will still be hot tomorrow, we will visit Krakow. I have been to Krakow many times, but I still enjoy seeing the sites. It also holds special memories for me because it was one of the first major Polish cities I visited with my father in 2004.
