Your Roots in Poland – the company
Our professional team of genealogists was created to be able to take you on a unique, genealogical journey into the past of your Polish family. We work with all online and offline documentation – we visit archives (state and religious, including diocesan and parish), offices, museums and libraries. We talk to local historians, witnesses to history, and we search available literature. We work with documentation in Polish, German, Russian, Hebrew and Latin, from the entire present and historical territory of Poland, regardless of religion and historical period.
Polish ancestry – how do we do it?
Most importantly, we are not only genealogists, but also historians and archivists – this allows us to provide a more complete and detailed picture of the life of your Polish ancestors. Through Polish genealogy research, we try to answer the questions of how your ancestors lived – what they do on a daily basis, where they lived, we follow their educational path, or the one related to military service. We analyze the origin of the surname and identify photos and family mementos. The summary of our work are genealogical research reports which, together with copies and translations of found documents, recreate the family history step by step. All our work can be presented on a graphic family tree, which our graphic designer will prepare according to the individual taste and needs of the client.
Polish roots, Polish passport, Polish roots tours….
Our main goal is to help all those who are looking for their Polish roots. We help in obtaining a Polish passport. We promote Polishness, Polish multinational tradition and culture, emphasizing its multiculturalism. We carry out in heir research (we identify and find heirs in Poland and around the world – thanks to the international cooperation of genealogists developed over the years) and property searches – we determine the legal status of real estates. We help in recreating the fate of people missing after World War II, or in finding biological parents and siblings of adopted people. To do it best, we are still developing – we participate in many genealogy conferences in Poland and around the world (RootsTech). We also share our knowledge by organizing workshops and webinars. We are members of the Polish Genealogical Society, the Polish Genealogical Society of America, or the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG).

Your genealogical research was detailed and thorough. The pictures and translations to English made the information both more real and much easier to add to our own records. Your geological research was excellent, we were thrilled that you were able to provided the location of the church where our ancestors was married before they immigrated to the USA. We also found your recommendations on accommodations, sites to see, and restaurants in Krakow were very helpful.Keep up the great work. We look forward to asking you to do additional research in the future. Ron Dusa and family, USA
Kinga and her associates are amazing Researchers and Genealogists. They worked quickly and efficiently and professionally and located my ancestors as they promised they could. I would recommend their services to anyone. I know that my cousins will be in touch with them in any future requests because they now know how true they are to their mission. Phyllis Skrysak, USA
We strongly recommend Your Roots in Poland for those interested in finding information about their family history. Not only did Kinga and her team locate our family s historical records and current relatives, they provided assistance every step of the way. We completed our journey by visiting Poland in April 2013 and Kinga proved to be an invaluable resource (including recommending places to visit, making travel arrangements and coordinating for guides/interpretors) and ensured our visit was memorable. From providing translations of historical documents to documenting our visit with photos, their team delivered beyond expectations. Mike and Laura Magalski, Woodbridge, VA
I cannot recommend Kinga and her team more. My father and I came to visit Poland to search out the places where my ancestors lived, worked and worshiped. Kinga and her partners were able to schedule us a few days in which we visited several towns. She was even able to set up a personal tour of a mine that my great great grandfather had worked in. I was able to see the churches where my family worshiped and in one case I was able to see the houses that they lived in during the 1800 s. She found a connection with my family to a museum in one town and was able to set up a tour with the curator. He showed me original documents that my great great great grandfather personally wrote as well as many sites pertaining to my family in that town. Kinga also assisted me in my efforts to visit and use the Katowice Archives. It was so complicated and rushed, but with her help I was able to see many records for my family. Even after we moved on without Kinga, to different parts of Poland, she called ahead to several of the places we visited to make sure we had assistance in our searches there. It was an amazing trip and Kinga and her partners efforts were greatly appreciated. Thank you Kinga. Beth Gainer VA, USA
