Send us an email at  watta@wp.pl with however much or little you know about your family in Poland. It may be that you have notes in a family bible, perhaps you have family hearsay or you may  have information passed to you from your grandparents. It doesn't matter what you might be missing. We can, if necessary, work with as little as a surename and a place.

In case your Family belonged to the Nobility it is possible to carry out searches with the surname only relying on the literature sources. In this case however only general information on the family can sometimes be found.

The best start of a successful research is to provide us with a surneme, date and place of a family event, e.g. birth, marriage, death. The more such information the greater the chances of positive search result.

We keep continuous contact with you via e-mail while doing the reseach, and expand on information you care for most.

Once we start the searches you can expect an interim report after approximately two weeks and a full report after approximately four.

The report contains genealogical information - mainly dates of births, marriages and deaths of the found Family members. Sometimes it is possible to reveal other information, like the occupation, information about the residence, immigration, coats of arms and other. Additionally in case of the searches directly in parishes, you are provided with digital documentation of the neighbourhood and all the records free of charge.

We aim to reply to all enquiries with an initial survey and quotation within next 5 days and as a maximum within 10 days of receipt. 


 

If we find relevant sources of information we then contact you to supplement your files with the new findings and to authorise the research.

The charges are calculated individually and depend mainly on the record accessibility, work hours of the archives and other factors.

Possible extra costs :

accessing some archival records - depends on the access time

photocopy processing – records can be photocopied exclusively by the archive staff.

translations into english or german - depending on particular document

 

The payment is ussually made by bank transfer or cheque.
