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.

The Beekeeper & Maków Podhalański Area

Driving back and forth from Sucha Góra and Maków Podhalański there was plenty of opportunity to capture scenes from everyday
life in this community.

Only a few houses from where I am staying there a beekeeper with a beautiful garden full of flowers & of course his beehives. He was more than happy to share the beauty of his landscaped lawn and show his honey. With expert hands and his ladle he could fill a jar without getting any honey on the outside of the jar.

The drive to the church takes you right through the Rynek (Town square) of Maków Podhalański and it was the place to go to resupply for coffee ,sugar and some buns (bulki), butter, ham & cheese for the small meals.

I have shared a few photos here around Maków Podhalański. Please note the wonderful bakery. I have always enjoyed the excellent bakery here in Poland.
