What our clients say
Notes from past clients — short stories of the families and villages we have helped find. Real research, real outcomes.
I worked with Wojciech Makowiecki of My Polish Genealogy since 2018 on a variety of projects related to research my Polish ancestors. Mr. Makowiecki researched and documented my Polish ancestors in all three of the Polish partitions while tracing some of my genealogy back to the late 1700s. Mr. Makowiecki is quite rigorous in his approach, so I trusted that the information he was finding was accurate. He was always timely in his communications and flexible by working within my budget parameters. His work actually changed my life. I was able to meet relatives that I have in Poland and I stay connected to them to this day.
To whom it may concern:
This is a brief referral note about Wojciech Makowiecki's genealogical research, and the results he has obtained on my specific case.
I have had an interest for genealogy as an amateur for many years, having inherited some information from family annotations and a draft tree dating 5 generations. We knew my ancestors were mostly from the Galicia region, but we did not have any records and documents. Unable to proceed with our limited knowledge, I decided to resort to professional help.
Based on an internet search, I came across mypolishgenealogy.com, submitted an inquiry email and was pleased to receive almost immediate response. After Wojciech analysed the data we had, understood what our priorities were in terms of the research, he devised a clear strategy.
Over the past 4 months Wojciech has taken on this project, he was able to uncover dozens of records for my ancestors back to the 17 hundreds, via all sorts of resources and using different strategies:
- He conducted field research visiting parishes, conducted research on site on the Franciscanza, Tarnów and Spytkowice archives to name a few;
- Wojciech identified newspapers and other documents relevant to the research in a variety of different sources;
- He was even kind enough to contribute to our online family tree, updating it with the findings!
Due to the profession of my ancestors (two generations of Ekonom), the geographical area the family spread through highly complicated the search. Nonetheless, through careful analysis Wojciech managed to find many valuable documents.
I can attest to the high degree of professionalism, constant and permanent updates, quick and effective results. Even when a specific search thread did not bring concrete results, I have always enjoyed the supportive way in which Wojciech worked.
His knowledge of Polish genealogy, resources and vast experience, added to the utmost transparency and professionalism brings excellent results.
I highly recommend Wojciech's work for anyone needing professional genealogical research support.
