Genealogy & Family History

We offer professional genealogy services to descendants of emigrants from the Czech lands who wish to uncover their family history and trace their roots. We compile detailed family trees and comprehensive family histories based on thorough research in parish registers, census records, and other archival sources.

We also trace the exact life stories, parish records, and historical documents related to specific individuals, ancestors, or family branches. Thanks to our knowledge of old scripts, historical context, and the specific development of the Czech lands, we are able to uncover even hard-to-find genealogical information.

Obtain complete and verified family records about your ancestors from the territory of the present-day Czech Republic in a clear and organized format, without the need for personal research.

Nobody wants to buy a pig in a poke. It is therefore understandable that potential customers would like to see the results of our work in order to assess its standard. On the other hand, we are obliged to protect the privacy of our clients, only two of whom have agreed to disclose their identity, so we can give at least these two exceptions prove the rule.

​For Mr. Pavel Zimmerhakl, we have traced back to the 17th century the history of the milling family from which he comes. In addition, during follow-up research we managed to find the place of death of his ancestor who disappeared on the Eastern Front during the World War I. The client wrote to us: “I have just read your report and must compliment you and your colleague. The report is very carefully written, readable and reminds me of my own profession of an auditor, which is essentially a combination of detective and analytical work.”

For Mrs. Blanka Famfulíková we conducted research focused on one of her ancestors. She left a rather long review on our Google company profile, from which for brevity we select a sentence summarizing her assessment of our services. “Reliability, high level of expertise, promptness, honesty, helpfulness, empathy, clear and detailed organisation of findings and information, explanation, suggestion for further action…”

We would also like to present our largest family tree, which contains more than 300 ancestors of our client, who wishes to remain anonymous. The chart, printed on a special canvas, was customized by our graphic designers according to her wishes. It measures 6.5 metres in width, so we were unable to fully develop it in our furnished offices, and therefore could not get it all into the lens at once. The leather-bound book containing information about the client’s ancestors, including transcripts and copies of retrieved records, is over 1,000 pages in size.
