What ESSENTIAL25 lets us do for your family

  • Find the village and then search the Polish registers: births, marriages and deaths of the emigrant’s parents and grandparents
  • Or write a complete, documented account of one family’s emigration and settlement in America
  • Or assemble the evidence file for a Polish citizenship case
  • Follow your goal across archives, parishes and record types, not just one online index

What you receive

  • One research goal, followed across archives and record types
  • A written report with document images, full translations and sources
  • Family group sheets for the generations found
  • A recommended next step

The Plan-First Guarantee

Within two business days of your payment we email your research plan: which archives, which records, in what order. Read it before a single research hour is used. If it does not convince you, tell us within three business days and we refund 100% of the $2,900 you paid.

Tell us about your family

Give us what you already know. Uncertain details are welcome: mark them as uncertain. The more you share now, the more of your hours go to the records themselves.

One research goal, for example: trace my great-grandmother's family in the Polish registers.
First names, surnames and variants: Wojciech / Albert / Adalbert, Kowalczyk / Kowalczik / Kovalchick.
Copy it exactly as it appears in the document. A wrong spelling is still a clue.
Spouse, parents, siblings, children, with any dates or places you know, however uncertain.
Naturalization papers, ship manifests, church records, obituaries, letters, photographs with captions.
Optional. Up to 5 files, JPG, PNG or PDF, 10 MB each. Phone photos are fine if the text is readable.
