Family genealogical tree
Family tree (the tree of the genus)– is a schematic representation of kinship between you, your ancestors and relatives. It is a web that connects you with ancestors living several centuries ago. It shows the continuity of your family over hundreds of years, family unity, the continuity of generations and family values. Just imagine: a family tree can have 1,000 – 2,000 or more verified relatives!
You need to start the process of making a family tree by interviewing living relatives. We can find out information about several generations deep from our grandparents. It is important to find out as much information as possible, especially: years of life, years of marriage, the exact place of birth and residence, places of study and work, events that took place in the family. This information will greatly help you in finding your more distant ancestors. After making such hard work, this process becomes interesting and it is tempting to know what it was before, and how this information can be restored …

How to do genealogical research
Searching archives and researching genealogy is a lengthy process, so that we divide it into several stages. For each of them, we develop a plan and tasks in order to achieve an optimal result. We are very sociable and use modern technologies, so you can be aware of the progress of the search process every day. At the end of each stage, we prepare a progress report.
At the moment, we consider that our achievement is the work on projects in which the most distant ancestors lived in the 18th and even the 17th century! Such projects will become less and less over the years, as in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Poland, in contrast to other more developed countries, archival documents are not digitized. Over time, more and more documents are lost or become unusable, and difficult to trace the full connection between all ancestors. Therefore, it is better to start your genealogical research now!
