FAMILY HISTORY

Preparatory process

To start a successful research, you need information about your grandparents.  If information has survived, then about their parents (great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers).

This data is necessary to analyze research prospects, to find out how many archival documents have survived that can be used to restore the family tree. 

What exactly we are interested in: full name, exact place and year of birth of the most distant known ancestors to you now. We need as much information as possible.

During the preparatory phase:

1. We will collect, analyze the information you know about the past of your relatives.  
2. We will find out in which archives there are documents with data about ancestors.
3. We will make a list of archival funds that contain the necessary information.
4. We will check how many generations can be discovered, and how long it is possible to investigate lineage.
5. We will find out where documents are stored, what contain the data about your distant ancestors, we will provide their list, names, dating.

After completing this stage, we will contact you and discuss in detail the method of project implementation, cost, timing, possible result.

The 1st option of our work is the research of family line.

We study the bloodline of one chosen surname (any close ancestor). We will look for information about direct ancestors from father to father and so on up to the most distant generation.

We will know: 

-names, dates of birth of direct ancestors and close relatives; – social status of ancestors; – religion; – place and time of life;

What will not be revealed:

• lineage of woman’s surname that were discovered during the research; – children who died infants; – the date and reasons of the deaths of ancestors; – dates of marriage; –  genealogy of lateral branches of the dynasty – full complement of family ancestors.

We make research on a limited number of documents in order to trace the ancestry of one family as deeply or to an agreed period of history with you. 

It is possible to choose a variant of the project based on how the archival documents have been preserved.  We always recommend the best way of studying ancestry.

The 2nd option of our work is the research of lineage of direct ancestors

We will study your lineage as deep as possible by four surnames, as your father, mother, grandmother and grandfather as any of the other ancestors.

The result of the work will be a family tree of four genera with the following data: 

• surnames, names, patronymics of direct ancestors and their closest relatives; – the composition of the direct ancestors of the families; – maiden names of women; – dates of marriage of direct ancestors; – dates and reasons of deaths; – social status of direct ancestors; – religion; – place and time of life;

What will not be included:

• lineage by the surnames of female ancestors, which we will establish during the study;

• lateral branches (families of brothers and sisters of direct ancestors);
• information about children who died infants;
• exact date and reasons of the deaths of ancestors.

We make research on a limited number of documents in order to trace the ancestry of four surnames as deep as possible or to an agreed period of history with you. We research a lot of documents to find out the genealogy of direct ancestors as much as possible. But we don’t study the lineage and lateral branches of the genus.  

It is possible to choose an option for the implementation of the project based on how the archival documents were preserved.

We always recommend the best way of studying ancestry.

The 3rd option of our work is the Complete research

We will investigate the lineage of all your ancestors who lived in the same territory, to the maximum possible depth. During the research, we use all the main genealogical documents that have been preserved in the archives to our time. This will provide an opportunity to collect the largest amount of information about your origin and the history of your family, get information about all family ties and family from antiquity to our time. 

The result of the work is a family tree, in which there may be hundreds and thousands of your ancestors, their relatives, who lived for 200 – 300 years from the present time in one village. Number of surnames under study is not limited.

We will found out: 

• maiden names of women;
• the most complete composition of families of ancestors and all their relatives;
• lineage by the names of women that were identified during the research;
• all possible family ties between ancestors and relatives;
• genealogy of lateral branches of the clan (families of brothers and sisters of direct ancestors);
• social status of all people at the family tree;
• religion;
• place, time of life and much more. 

During the research, we use all the main genealogical documents that have been preserved in the archives to our time. This makes it possible to collect the greatest amount of information about your origin and find out in detail your genealogy.
