• Family History Research

My name is Marta and I have been working as a genealogy researcher for about 10 years. I gained my experience by researching the history of my own family, working in the Genealogy Department of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw and in a private company, where I got specialized in researching all the faiths of pre-war Poland's inhabitants. Eventually, I started my own business and hereby I offer my services to you.

I focus mostly on the territories that belonged to Poland before the World War II (including parts of today's Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania), but I am also eager to help with tracing the German ancestry of families that lived in the area which became Polish after 1945.  Since I was born in Dolny Śląsk (also known as Lower Silesia/ Niederschlesien), I found it important to honor its' previous residents. I specialize in Polish and Polish Jewish genealogies.

I can help you with:

- searching for your ancestors based on various records (birth, marriage and death certificates as well as other kind of helpful documents) available online and in the archives on-site

- understanding the documents you already have

- preparing the translations (I speak Polish and English, I can also read old German, Russian, Latin and Hebrew)

- looking for your living relatives

I will be happy to help you to discover your roots in Poland!

 

Testimonials
"Marta is an amazing researcher. We gave her very little info as a starting point because we didn’t know much about the family back in Poland. Despite several unexpected complications (some records destroyed or nonexistent), Marta managed to find a lot of very interesting, relevant info. Marta responded very quickly to all of my questions, suggestions and comments. She was extremely professional and communicative throughout the process. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for help in tracing their Polish roots. Dziękuję, Marta! Our family is so grateful." Hilary

"Marta has been very helpful in discovering elusive Jewish roots in my family. With just some bits of data and family testimony to go on, she got back to me within two weeks with a full report confirming the Jewish identity of a particular ancestor, as well as the names of her parents and additional clues that Marta is still helping me work out! Consistent and patient correspondence with Marta and the affordability of her services are especially great bonuses: I cannot recommend her enough!" Filip

"Marta has done an incredible job in the research of my Jewish family. Without any leading record to rely on (except the magnificent Villa Felicia building), Marta managed to locate all family members names and and then tell their story, as was reflected in the records she found. Needles to say, most of them who stayed in Germany these years were murdered by the Nazis. It is important that the world will know and remember these innocent people through these small stories and photos. Therefore any publishing on this subject makes a huge contribution to the collective memory." Amos

"Marta helped me get family documents that I need to pursue citizenship. She was always nice and communicated with me well throughout the process. If I need any more documents in the future, I will go back to her!" Brandy
