Genealogical Consultation

I offer individual genealogical consultations designed to help you plan your research and learn how to conduct genealogical investigations on your own.

These consultations are intended both for people who are just beginning their journey with genealogy and for those who have reached a specific stage of their research and need guidance on how to proceed further.

During the consultation we:

• analyse the documents and findings you have gathered so far,
• identify possible directions for further research,
• determine the relevant archives, parishes, and institutions,
• explain how to read and interpret vital records,
• discuss how to use online databases and archival resources,
• introduce the basics of genealogical methodology and working with historical sources,
• help organise your materials and plan the next steps in your research.

During the meeting I also show how to avoid the most common research mistakes and how to verify information so that your family tree is built on documented sources rather than assumptions.

The consultation takes place online. After the meeting, you will receive a summary with recommendations for further research steps.

What clients say

Every story requires trust and careful attention. See what my clients say about my work.

"I definitely recommend Ms. Anna. She has extensive expertise, answers all questions, and provides fast turnaround times for translating vital records. Communication is excellent. I will certainly work with her again—highly recommended!."

Ag Nieszka

"I had the pleasure of using Pani Włościanka’s services for translating vital records from Russian. Thanks to one of them, I was able to add as many as 18 new people to my family tree! Everything was completed very quickly, and the support in searching for records, along with the guidance provided, proved extremely valuable. I highly recommend her! 😊"

Natalia Pawluk

"Ms. Ania prepared a genealogical tree of my family as well as over a dozen detailed reports for me. It was an extraordinary journey – I discovered many new pieces of information about my ancestors. I highly recommend her.."

Alicja Dudewicz

"I worked with Ms. Ania on the translation of vital records; the service was completed extremely quickly, and the advice and guidance were invaluable. I am very grateful for the help. It was my first time working together, but certainly not the last. Thank you very much, and I highly recommend her"

Joanna Rybicka

"I highly recommend!!! Pani Włościanka helped me (very quickly, I might add) break through one of my genealogical brick walls that had been troubling me for a long time. The report is very clear and full of information – I am very satisfied! 🙂"

Zosia Piech

"I was recently trying to find information about my grandparents, cousins and other relatives in small towns in Belarus that likely perished during the Holocaust. Pani was recommended as someone who could assist in my search for information. I reached out to her over email, she quickly replied, and she's been very helpful in finding information that I wasn't able to find on my own. She's been a pleasure to deal with, and I have very much enjoyed our interactions. I give Pani very high recommendations for anyone trying to find information about family members in Eastern Europe."
