Family research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all want to know a little better where we came from – what did our ancestors left to us, and with us. A visit to your ancestral town can be more than trying to find the old cemetery and synagogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many places information and documents about the family\u2019s history can be traced – whether its registries of birth, of residence, of commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit like this needs planning and preparation – getting to know the family\u2019s history, and then archival research prior to arrival.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Can be Found<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Family is different, and every life leaves different traces behind it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes its birth registry, sometimes a University record, a business registry or emigration. Every search is tailor-made, and is done with the family, according to the family story and the information the family has to begin with – and then takes it’s own route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See some examples of the large variety of possible findings and stories.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
