About this Gig
Before placing an order, please message me. I will review your case and suggest the best research strategy.
I am a professional genealogist specializing in ancestry research in Eastern Europe, especially within former Russian Empire and Austro-Hungarian Empire. I have successfully completed 250+ research cases.
I search for documents, including but not limited to:
- Birth, marriage, and death records (vital records)
- Immigration, naturalization, and passport records
- Census, tax, and revision lists
- Military records
- Property, business, and court documents
You will get a clear and structured report that explains the discoveries and connects them into one story. A typical report includes:
- Translation and analysis of findings
- Historical and geographical context
- Identifying parents, siblings, and extended family
- A source list and scans
- Archive strategy: what exists and can be ordered
- Recommendations for next steps
Before starting, I review what you already have and build a tailored plan. I focus primarily on digitized archives, but when needed, I can coordinate offline archive work. Message me and we will map out the best approach for your case!
FAQ
What information do you need from me to start?
Any information you have helps. Ideally: name, surname, dates, locations, parents, siblings. Even minimal details are often enough to start.
Can you help identify the place of origin if I do not know it?
Yes. I work with both Eastern European records and immigration records from countries of arrival (US, Canada, UK, etc.). Even if places were recorded incorrectly, there are proven strategies to identify origins.
Can you help identify the original surname?
Yes. I regularly reconstruct original surnames and spelling variants, even when names were heavily changed after immigration or recorded inconsistently across different documents.
Can you find extended family members?
Yes. When records allow, I can identify parents, siblings, and extended relatives by analyzing census data, vital records, and other historical sources.
How much does genealogy research cost?
The cost depends on research goals and scope. I always start with a 6-hour minimum package, which is the baseline needed to begin. After that, we evaluate results and decide if further research is needed.
How long does the research usually take?
After you accept my offer, initial results are usually delivered within 10–14 days. Timelines vary depending on research depth, number of family lines, and whether archive work is required.
Which countries and regions do you work with?
I mainly work with records from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
Do you work with archives that are not online?
Yes. I can identify what is held in archives, assist with official requests, and coordinate in-person archive research through trusted local researchers when needed.
What exactly will I receive at the end of the research?
You will receive a detailed research report with document translations and analysis, historical context, scans of records, a full source list, archive availability, and clear recommendations for next steps.
What happens if records are not found?
Genealogy cannot guarantee specific results. However, I am transparent about limitations and always explain what was searched. In practice, I almost always uncover new information, even in difficult cases.
