Testimonials
“Your report has an enormous amount of information, which pleases me. Reading it carefully, I have been able to identify various relationships. This has enabled me to construct a more accurate chart than previously.”
(Dr. James Koenig, GeothermEx, Inc., Richmond, Califonia, USA)
“Congratulations on the excellent job you did researching the Slifkin and Geskin families. Thanks to your work we can now trace eighth generations of both families.
The data were rich and remarkable. I was struck by the physical descriptions of the Geskin and Slivkin men from long ago, who resemble our family today.”
(Mr. Howard Wolinsky, Flossmoor, IL, USA)
“ Dear Aleksandrs
I was thrilled to receive your report. It came as a complete surprise and I congratulate you for remembering the names for all this time! Most important, you found my great grandfather, Israel David Itsikovitch Veger, I have been searching for him 10 years.
I can`t thank you enough.(…) You continue to be the finest researcher that any of us in the Jewish genealogy community have ever worked with.”
