A lot of Poles emigrated from their homeland, especially in the last two centuries. Many of them settled in North America and Australia. A vast number of families lost contact with each other, as it was impossible to communicate during the wars that took place in Europe and very hard to get in touch when Poland was behind the iron curtain.
But often it is still possible to rediscovercover the historical relations. Those who have already decided to proceed with their genealogy adventure in Poland have had a unique opportunity to see the family locations, read old documents and even meet their relatives. What is the first step to take?
Collect documents
Collect all possible documents regarding the first generation that emigrated. The most helpful are Ship Manifests, Petitions for Naturalization, Oaths of Allegiance etc. Even if no official documents survived, other documents such as letters, memories, diaries might be valuable for the researcher as well.
Talk to your family
It is always a good idea to contact the eldest members of the family and write down what they remember about the previous generations, focusing of the names and places they relate to the Polish heritage.
Contact RealPoland & share what you know with the researcher
Every piece of information counts, even if it seems irrelevant at first glance. Complete the form on this page to contact our researcher. Don't worry if you don't have all the answers, fill in as much as you can and leave the rest blank.
Accept the costs & get a research report
When you get in touch with RealPoland, the genealogist will need some time to contact the local archives, search the databases and estimate the cost of your research. Once you accept it, the research will begin. Your researcher will remain in touch with you while doing the investigation and once it’s completed, you will receive a detailed report of your genealogy research in Poland.
Visit Poland
The most emotional part of your research is visiting the land of your ancestors. You can either choose one of our Small Group Tours of Poland and have it extended to include places related to your family history, or have our Tour Specialist design a special tailor-made Poland tour if you prefer a personalized experience.
