I began researching my own family history in 1992. In the years that followed, I have visited Poland
over 23 times, written letters requesting documents from 6 different archives, and personally conducted research at
archives in 4 different Polish sites. It has been a labor of love! My own family tree now extends back 11 generations,
to about 1680!
After several years of success and excitement researching my own roots, I decided
to offer my knowledge and experience as a service to
others - hence PolishExpress, Inc., an
organization devoted to assisting people with uncovering their family history
and background. In short, helping people to "find their roots."
In particular, we offer these six services:
 |
Finding,
copying, and translating documents in Polish, Russian, and Latin
at the old archives of Poland (up to about
1895); |
|
|
Finding, copying, and translating
documents in Polish and Russian at the
modern archives of Poland (from 1895 to present); |
|
|
Helping
you locate relatives who may still live in
Poland—through searches of Polish telephone
books (white pages and yellow pages); |
|
|
Providing
you with digital or hard copy photographs of any
location in Poland; |
|
|
Organizing
individual and group "Discover Your Roots"
excursions to Poland guided by experienced bilingual
researchers; and |
|
|
Translating letters:
English-to-Polish and Polish-to-English. |
From my home in Suwanee, Georgia
(USA) I handle translations and all financial matters.
In Poland, my
first cousin Stanislaw Pieniazek,
who shared with me the ups and downs of our quest for family roots, conducts
research at the archives of Poland. A team of experienced researchers
assists him. We conduct research all over Poland, including the former
Polish territories now in the Ukraine (Galicia), Belarus, and Lithuania (see
map).
We can help you investigate your family history, obtain copies of records related to your family, and understand exactly what these documents say.
Because we use modern digital imaging devices, we can provide you with
very high quality copies of documents related to your
family. Click here for a sample (a
1891 marriage record from Czestochowa, Poland).
The mission of PolishExpress is to make thorough searches of Polish archives, and to provide you with prompt and efficient results.
Of course, you will have questions about our services:
How much do we charge? What can we find for you in Poland? How is our track record with previous clients?
Do we have referrals? Etc. For these or any other questions, please contact me.
I look forward to answering any and all questions you may have for me.
