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.

Research & Travel in Poland 2016

mypolandmap1I will be traveling to Poland again this year. This trip will be a combination of work and fun as I have a client that needs research done in Poland.

Since I was in Poland last year, I will again have the opportunity to also visit with family. This is my 5th trip to Poland and after this trip I will have accumulated about six months that I have been in Poland. I will once again be able to see my good friend and distance cousin Łukasz Firkowski and his family, meet all my close relatives near Torun and see my good friend Aleksandra from Grudziądz.

Everyone always wants to know where I have been in Poland and so I have posted a google map showing my travels in Poland and Czech Republic. If you click on the image you can view a larger copy of the map.

I travel to the Czech Republic because when my father, his sister and my grandparents left Poland, they left behind my father's brother who had met a woman from Czechoslovakia. Because my Uncle stayed behind, I have first cousins and their families that are still in the Czech Republic.

I am still in the process of making my travel plans, but it looks like I will be traveling August into September. If you have research needs in Poland, I may be able to take on another project. Costs will be split, so it would be cheaper. My deadline to arrange research plans are the end of May, which is when I will have to purchase my ticket. If you are interested in having me do some research for you in Poland, contact me immediately so I have time to evaluate your research needs. SERIOUS inquiries ONLY!
