Testimonials

I have been conducting genealogical research into my family for over 15 years, and have, on occasion, utilized the services of professional genealogists in several different Central European countries. Radko Conka is certainly one of the best. He was not only able to successfully find the available information that I was specifically seeking, but also discovered additional pieces of family information - including new family members - whose existence was previously unknown to me. For anyone needing Slovakian genealogical research, I strongly recommend Radko’s services. Radko is a true professional, who knows both where to look for, and how to obtain, very thorough results. Radko, thank you so much! Feel free to also provide my email contact information to anyone who might wish any further validation.

I had searched for many years for the marriage license for my maternal Grandparents. I hired a man in Slovakia to help with the search but it was unsuccessful.
Later I hired Radko Conka to help with the search and Radko found it. ... I recommend without reservation that anyone interested in conducting research in Eastern Slovakia hire Stefan and Radko Conka.

Stefan just did a fantastic research job for me, finding the village of my great grandmother's birth and confirming who her parents were -- a piece of information that has eluded and frustrated me for 12 years. (And another researcher I hired years ago wasn't able to find this for me!)
