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 Maków Podhalański to Kraków

DSC07846Gosia Makes something healthy to eatMy time in Maków Podhalański is finished. After I visited the priest in Żarnówka which was early in the morning, I returned to the Agroturystyka where I was staying in Sucha Góra. An Agroturystyka is a place that is like a small farm that has rooms in their house for rent at a very inexpensive price.

I took some time to start organizing all the massive amount of data that had been acquired over the past few days & then left in the afternoon to go meet a relative in Kraków. The views on the drive to Kraków were spectacular and I only wish I was able to snap a few more photos while driving.

I met with my distant cousin Gosia and after getting settled in and unpacking it was time ot do some grocery shopping for the week plus, that I would be here. We returned to her home, made dinner and sat on the balcony in the evening chatting and having a few drinks. It was a nice relaxing time especially after so many days of intensive work.
