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.

Leaving Dąbrowa Górnicza to Maków Podhalanski

DSC06445Mountain View from the Home I stayed at.My time with Łukasz Firkowski & his family has come to an end and before I left, I was once again treated to some good food. There is a chance I will be able to see Łukasz one more time, but that has yet to be determined as the plans for my visits are in flux due to the research I need to do.

My next stop is in Maków Podhalanski where I will be doing some client research in the church there. Hotels were really booked up because today is a three day holiday weekend in Poland, but I managed to find a place that has rooms for tourists in a town nearby called Sucha Góra. It will only be a short ride into Maków Podhalanski.

The drive took about 2 1/2 hours, it would have been less, but I met up with some traffic for those returning from their three day weekend. I was met with some gorgeous views of the mountains as I made my way through the small town roads. My genealogist friend Aleksandra was in the area doing some client research and had some free time so she came ot meet with me and give me a hand for a short time. It was nice to see her again. After a short walk around the area, it was time to get something to eat and hit the hay as the next day would be intensive day of research.
