I will conduct genealogy research into your german ancestors

Yes - they are many, many repositories online that we are familiar with - e.g. Ancestry, FamilySearch, 23andMe platforms as well as region-specific platforms (e.g. Szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl, Geneteka.Genealodzy.pl, Silus Radicum.pl).

Yes, of course!

It's important to message us in advance of who / what you are looking for. Sometimes records in these regions don't exist for a variety of reasons (particularly WW2, theft / loss, flooding, lack of digitization). If this is the case, we'll provide you with suggestions and tips to work around this.

We are familiar with submitting records requests to the Polish State archives (Archiwum Państwowe). We can prepare requests on your behalf and advise what to do, but you will need to send off any requests as processing times vary and records are subject to availability.

Yes - subject to availability, we will send you everything that I find in .jpg format. Where a record collection has been found and is subject to restrictions, we will advise on how to obtain this record, if possible.

We summarise the results found in a Word document. We will detail the steps taken, the results found, any useful historical context, as well as suggestions for next steps. This will be accompanied by any supporting documents as well.

Restrictions / limitations include: we generally can't search for living relatives, sometimes records don't exist anymore (but we'll suggest if there are ways around this). We also don't visit any archives in person (but much can be done and requested online!)
