Our advantages

A pedigree is not just documents, but a beautiful story that you want to show!

Soviet repressions

We are a team of historians, archivists, and analysts with over 10 years of experience in genealogy. We are proficient in search methods even in the most difficult cases: from changed surnames to lost traces in Soviet repressions.

Access to sources

We have established contacts with state, church, and private archives in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Germany, Israel, and the United States. We work with rare collections that are not available online.

The result

We don’t just search for data – we create a family history in the form of a tree, book, map, or visual infographic. This is a memory you can be proud of and pass on.

What documents do we find?

We work with a wide range of archival materials and can find them:

Metric books

These are church documents that record acts of birth, baptism, marriage, and death. They may contain additional information about the witnesses to the ceremony, the family’s place of residence, and religious affiliation. These documents are indispensable for confirming family ties or creating a family tree.

Civil status acts

Documents from civil registry offices – certificates of birth, marriage, divorce, death, change of surname or name. These documents are the basis for restoring or confirming a person’s legal status.

Military account cards

Archived military cards provide information about a person’s military service, awards, participation in wars, and places of service. They are especially important for the descendants of veterans and people applying for benefits.

Documents on emigration or deportation

We find records of travel abroad, change of citizenship, administrative relocation or emigration for political or national reasons.

Filtration information

A set of documents that preserves evidence of the verification of identity after the complete or return from the occupied territories. They may include a photo, profile, autobiography, and other protocols of supplements.

Сonfessional information

Short lists of paraffins, which indicate the origin of their homeland, age and social status. Such documents allow me to accurately determine who I myself lived in a particular household in a particular region.

How to pass the archive search?

We carried out the archival search process in such a way that it would be easy, understandable and effective for each client. Wine consists of three main stages:

Analysis and cost-free consultation

We are beginning to understand your question: what are you joking about, as you already know, as a meta-joke. At this stage, our archivist evaluates the chances of a successful outcome, identifying potential pieces of information and giving you a forward plan of action. The consultation is cost-free and does not require any pre-service appointment.

Archive research and information processing

Once our minds meet, we will form an official request to the archives of Ukraine or other countries, as necessary. We are preparing inventory, processing inventory, checking secondary funds, and contacting partners locally. If the archives provide evidence, we analyze it, translate it (as required) and verify the legality of the document.

Transferring results to the client

You receive copies of documents in digital form or originals by mail, prepared according to your requirements (with stamps, apostille, translation, etc.). We can also prepare explanations before replacing the document or add genealogical information to the results of the search.

Our advantages

We see three main advantages to make our archival search service unique and most effective for each client:

Deep expertise and reliable connections

Our team consists of research historians, archivists, lawyers and translators who work with documents from different eras and regions. We have direct contacts with archives in Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Israel, Moldova and other countries. This allows me to carry out the search clearly and smoothly.

Officiality and legal force of documents

All the materials you have removed are the relevant archival documents with seals, signatures, the possibility of apostillation and translation. The stench is recognized by sovereign regulations, consulates, courts and is vikorized in official law: colossus, slaughter, migration, migration.

Individual support and insightful process

Each client selects a personal manager who will guide the process from the first consultation until the transfer of results. We are ready to contact you, inform you about the stages of the search, possibly key decisions, and provide encouragement after completion of the service.

Videos from our clients

I caught an archived search to confirm the nationality of my grandfather from Podill. Honestly, I didn’t believe that I would find out. Already three years later I was getting a copy of the metric book from 1892! The document was received at the Polish consulate. The team’s great dedication to the work and human performance!

YaroslavaChernivtsi/Bucharest

I joked about the past, who served in the First World War and the beginning of repression in the 30s. Archivists found a filtering right, a cloud map and a tip about rehabilitation. I found out for the first time where and how he is alive. More importantly, this service is a reversal of the history of the homeland. I highly recommend it!

GannaLviv

It was necessary to confirm the fact of the birth of the grandmother in Odessa in order to formalize the Israeli community. Nothing came of it on our own. UA Docs found not only the act about the people, but also the archived evidence about sex. Shvidko, officially, with translation. I’m so pleased with the service!

We work with documents in Old Slavonic, Polish, German, Hebrew
This allows us to achieve results where others fail.
