Genealogy Tours: Embark on Your Extraordinary Ancestral Journey

Join us in crafting an unforgettable genealogical adventure that connects you with your heritage. Have you ever longed to visit the very places where your ancestors were born and raised? Have you wondered if it’s possible to uncover their villages, homes, or even meet distant relatives? And how many intriguing questions about your family history remain unanswered?

We are here to help you realize these dreams and uncover the stories of your past.

Where Will You Explore? Our genealogical tours are thoughtfully organized in the beautiful, historically rich regions of central and eastern Germany, particularly highlighting southern Saxony-Anhalt and western Poland.

When Is the Best Time to Visit? The ideal time for your journey is from March to October when the weather is warm and the days are longer. While winter visits are also possible, the shorter days and colder temperatures may not allow for the same immersive experience in your ancestors’ landscapes.

What Awaits You? Each tour is a unique, personal experience tailored to your specific interests and expectations. Here are some essential components of our service:

• We’ll collaborate with you to create a detailed plan based on the information you provide. Don’t worry if you’re not fully versed in your family’s history; this tour allows you to see, touch, and connect with the places where your ancestors lived and thrived.
• Your journey could be a remarkable adventure and perhaps a singular opportunity to learn more about your lineage through on-site research and meaningful connections with living relatives.
• To get started, we’ll review any details you have about your ancestors’ locations and the era of their emigration, which can typically be sourced from Passenger Arrival Records available in online databases such as Ellis Island, Family Search, and Ancestry.com.
• For a richer experience, we encourage you to conduct your own genealogical research or allow us to assist in uncovering more about your heritage before planning your tour.
• We’ll meticulously analyze any documentation you have regarding your ancestors, and if needed, reach out to local civil or ecclesiastical authorities to access archival records.
• Our expert team is equipped to research family records at various institutions including parish offices, state archives, cemeteries, and digital resources.
• We also provide translation services for family documents, letters, and inscriptions.

If your ancestors hailed from rural areas, we recommend renting a car during your tour for ease of exploration. Should you prefer, we can also organize driving services, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of your ancestral land.

Accommodation Recommendations Your comfort is important to us. We will recommend accommodations aligned with your budget and preferences, prioritizing smaller boutique hotels over large international chains. In quaint towns and villages, we suggest charming inns, bed and breakfasts, and agritourism residences that offer a glimpse into the everyday life of rural Germany or Poland.

We embrace flexibility! Feel free to share any additional attractions or experiences you’d like to include in your itinerary. Our itinerary preparation comes at no cost to you, while all expenses for services in Poland—such as lodging, transportation, and guide services—will be detailed prior to your arrival.

Pricing Information The total cost of the tour will be tailored to your specific itinerary. If you would like a personalized offer, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Embark on this remarkable journey to discover your roots—we look forward to helping you connect with your family history!
